I just changed the yellow ink cartridge two months ago, and when I changed it, I noticed yellow ink in the printer. I cleaned it up, and put in a new cartridge. I haven't printed hardly anything, and I think only black and white since. However, today I wanted to print a form,  and the printer said I needed to change the cyan, which I did.  I had expected to need to replace the cyan, so no problem there. Then it said I needed to replace the yellow.   When I popped the yellow out, I could see yellow ink around the opening. Can my printer itself be causing the ink to leak out?  Can it be fixed?  Thanks for your insight.
