Extruder Dribble

Another one I've searched for but I'm afraid I can't find any suggestions in the search or troubleshooting guides.

My extruder seems to dribble a bit with the PLA. Unfortunately that means that when I go to print, and it does the bed leveling, it puts little dots of PLA on each of the points that it measures. Including right dead center where things tend to print. I'm guessing I need to do one of the extruder calibrations, but I can't see clearly which one would be relevant to this problem.

I'm not printing anything custom at this time - I'm still doing example prints off the provided SD card, so I don't think it can be any settings that I messed up.

Ha, thanks and sorry! I couldn't think of what people would describe it as - I tried drip, drop, spot, dot, dribble.

No worries. It takes a while to learn the lingo. And even then...
