Slowly leak (4)

I believe the answer is:

drip

(Other definitions for drip that I've seen before include "Ineffectual person; hospital apparatus" , "Flow in small drops" , "Small drop; ineffectual person" , "Leak slowly" , "Hospital device; weak person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The New York Times and the USA Today.
