Leaking from the port where the needle separates from the catheter.I inserted it leaks and then i asked another nurse to insert another one still leaking when we flushed.We decided to leave it on for a while like 15 mins or more and flushed it again, no leaking was noted.After flushing with ns [normal saline] it started to leak from the white plastic port (part that's exposed after taking out the needle).I placed another iv using another 20 g and also leaked.But after some time (few minutes) they both stopped leaking.The leaking was sort of slow "ooze" and not continuous leak, and it happened after flushing.
