Leak eviscerating socialite, is on the record? (4)
I believe the answer is:
seep
'leak' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'eviscerating socialite is on the record?' is the wordplay.
'eviscerating' means to remove the middle letters (I've seen 'eviscerated' mean this (the word is disembowelled of its inside letters)).
'is on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the record?' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'socialite' with its middle removed is 'se'.
'se'+'ep'='SEEP'
(Other definitions for seep that I've seen before include "Ooze, percolate" , "Leak gradually" , "dribble away" , "Flow or leak slowly" , "Leak through an opening" .)
