# Material Oozing or Leakage

<figure><img src="/files/tBxrStCUeGFSvFtLk0HQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If your printing material is oozing between raises or prints, it is likely that your Relief Pressure is set too high or your plunger's O-ring is missing or has failed. First, inspect the O-ring to insure it is properly in place and hasn't become swollen. If you need to replace it you can follow the steps in our [NOVA Maintenance](broken://pages/y0uElZSzp2qR9FgSfpo2#replacing-your-o-ring) guide. If the O-ring looks good, then you’ll want to adjust the relief pressure before you try printing again.

This can be adjusted two ways. Either indirectly by running through the [Calibrate](/docs/nova/learn-nova/software-overview/calibration.md) workflow for your material again, or directly in the Check Flow step in the Dispense workflow.
