Montblanc 139 Star Staining

[mcannad1]

I started to notice some staining appearing on my Montblanc 139 star today. It seems that some ink had leaked inside the cap and was running out along the seams of the star. I was able to use some light water to clean most of the staining off. I'm now worried that it may happen again though. Is there anything I can do to reset the star or seal the inside of the cap to prevent ink from running out through the seams of the star and staining again?

There's nothing you can do to reset the star without damaging it. You should alternatively consider addressing the problem of ink running into your cap.
