'issue' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'watch parking' is the wordplay.
'watch' becomes 'see' (synonyms).
'parking' becomes 'p'.
'see'+'p'='SEEP'

'becoming' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seep that I've seen before include "Leak slowly, ooze" , "Of liquid, ooze slowly out" , "Leak gradually" , "Trickle through slowly" , "dribble away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
