If it leaking around the threads, I would use teflon tape to stop the leak if at that location. If the glass is cracked or has a hole in it, then apply some glass glue, let it harden before refilling the container. Best to you.
Leaking Hummingbird Feeders can be a problem! Dripping Hummingbird feeders is nectar wasted. In addition, this is a problem because ants, bees, and wasps are quickly attracted to this easily accessible sweet treat. Use a Tray Feeder. Tray Feeders don't leak!
Keep feeder in the shade. Try a small amount of plumbers tape on threads.
Do you know for sure where the leak is coming from? Seems more likely it is coming from the lid or perch area insde of the glass jar. The most likely cause is cross threading the lid when screwing it on.
