Depends on pumpkin I think. We have had 3 days of 30+ pounds (this year on
the 1142 Van Kooten) and not a drop of goo anywhere. Last year the 1093 Hunt
(all attempts) were covered head to toe with goo seeping from the skin each
morning.....we lost them all. I have heard of lots having seepage and no
problems, so I hope it works out in the end for you.
