Filament coming out of extruder nozzle on idle

Hello,

I recently purchased and setup a i3 mk2 kit, and I'm experiencing some problems with the extruder.

On idle, with the filament loaded, the extruder seems to be leaking filament from the nozzle. Is this normal?

Absolutely normal. There is nothing holding the molten filament in the nozzle so it will ooze out until it is empty.
