Used to be that they would repair them. Try contacting Parker.

Never had one leak in the 45+ years I've used them, but it can happen, I
guess. If it was not upside down, I can't imagine what would cause it to
happen. I'd look for a crack in the refill.

Alcohol(dont drink it).

I've found alcohol "dry gas" works nicely on ball pen ink. You can
either try to swab it out with Q-tips, or soak the pen barrel in
alcohol.

I thought Parker ball pens were not supposed to leak, mine has even
though
it's not been stored upside down.

It's very sticky inside. Is there any good way to clean it out?
Thanks for
advice.

The last time I bought any it cost �6.99 for 500ml, well over twice
that. The label is still on the bottle. With store chemists who
actually stock it being thin on the ground, you have to take what
you can find.

While it may be cheaper in bulk, isopropyl alcohol is highly
inflammable. And so buying a litre or more for occasional use
in cleaning tape heads and the like, is not only hazardous
but probably a false economy as well. Unless that is, additional
uses can be found for it.
