i had this same thing happen to me a couple weeks ago. luckily the beer tastes okay to me, but i was worried i ruined my beer.
in hindsight i should have placed a washed/sanitized container where the leak is to catch the beer and dump it back into the bottling bucket. this may not have been realistic considering how bad the leak is, but def a more sanitary option.
