What a pain. I just got back from Georgetown Hospital where I had to get my third PEG tube. The second one only lasted nine months then started leaking badly. You may want to also try tightly wrapping black electrical tape around the tube section that is leaking. That worked for me from Saturday until today.
They have now scheduled me for regular replacement of my PEG every six months as that is what they are finding is needed for long term PEGs. The "surgery" was very brief and I did get an even bigger PEG - a 16FR this time.
You really don't need this hassle.
