Shiva titanium white. Is this normal?

[16ga]

In the past the only real negative side to shiva paints I can remember is the large mouth on the tubes.
Earlier this year I picked up a 150ml tube of shiva titanium white. It was a few bucks cheaper and the larger mouth isn't a problem with the white.
This tube of paint is a mess… Its fine to use but the paint itself is very oily. I end up with a puddle of liquid around the paint on my pallet every time I use it and it leaks out around the cap on the tube. Not only that but the tube quickly developed a pin hole near the bottom which leaks paint.
The only other new tube of shiva I have is a 37mm tube of marble white which I have no problem with.
Is this normal for shive paints now or at least for their titanium white? or did I just get unlucky with this tube?

I had a Shiva White paint at one time, a long time ago. As I recall, it was quite oily, and rather yellowish.
I think the oiliness is rather common for Shiva paints. Many other paints have the same characteristic, and I just let the oil come out with the pigment as I squeeze the paint out of its tube onto my palette. I just allow it to "puddle", and I use it as my painting "medium", until the puddle has been used up. I take little bits of that oil, and mix it with my paint as I work. Since it is quite clear, I freely mix it with other colors as well,

Thanks.
I'm guessing its normal for the oilier paints to leak more?

16, squeeze your paint onto yesterday's newspaper before you start your painting day. Or, some other absorbent stuff . . . paper towels for example. The paper will absorb the oil. Use a palette knife to transfer it to your palette.
