I have to confess that I'm a bit of an oil can freak. I've got dozens of them..........and they all leak, including the Reilang. The only exception is two "Valvespouts" which don't leak a drop in any position - as long as I remember to screw down the little knurled nozzle. I don't think you can buy them any more?
