Also make sure it is not over filled and don't be afraid to "snug" those screws down...back-n-forth in equal amounts. Too loose and it will leak, but too tight and it will also leak as you will "pooch" the seal. If you tighten one side down and then the other....it will almost surely leak. Take it off, check the seal, tighten the screws equally until you get them both pulled down. Check the seal all way around the cap and you can tell if it is pulled down squarely around the lid.
It should not be a common thing.

Yep...it's hard to describe what "sung" is. Some of us just don't know our own strength (LOL). Individually...we have to figure out how tight it needs to be to stay in and not leak and then how tight is has to NOT be to pooch the seal.
