I built my 2nd ever fountain pen last night. It is a Gold Ti Baron. Everything went well, the pen looks good, but when I went to use it this morning there was leakage. Did I do something wrong, is this common? Ideas please

it is a cartridge and I am not sure where it is leaking. I left the plastic sleeve over the nib and when I took the cap off, there was ink inside the sleeve
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but won't the plastic sleeve will act as a wick and draw the ink out of the nib ... I'm assuming the plastic sleeve is the one that comes on the nib when you purchase the kit.

Sounds about right to me.
I would clean it up and see if the leak is gone.
