Dripping with the flavour of vegetable picked up (5)

I believe the answer is:

leaky

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dripping' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for leaky that I've seen before include "Letting gas/liquid out" , "Perforated" , "Not watertight" , "Unable to keep secrets" , "Letting fluid in or out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
