I feel like it shouldn't be possible to have filament oozing out through the thermister port/cartridge slot.
either it's a funky design, or something is very wrong- OP.... were you printing with red filament? The other thought I had was some sort of adhesive or thermal paste (which... is a bad idea. Most thermal paste decomposes at printing temps... but I've never seen red thermal paste.)
Looking again, I feel like it's NOT coming through the thermistor, it's probably coming through the heat break and just dripping down onto the thermistor.
