Excess Water Overflow When Sharpening Scissors

Not sure what I am doing wrong but every pair of scissors I have sharpened (6) I get a pool of water on my table. It seems to be coming from when I move the scissors from right to left and the water run of the scissors is running down the left side of the wheel. It looks like the trough is seated correctly so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any suggestions?

You may not really be doing anything wrong, it just happens.  I use the drip trough extension that is intended for capturing spillage from long knives and a 3D printed drip tray attached to the front USB slots and still get water puddling below the machine.  To keep that spillage off my workbench, I have been using a standard, old-school (literally) cafeteria tray.  When using the Tormek ACC additive, I lift my T8 out after a while and pour the spillage back into the drip trough. 
Quality is like buying oats.  If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse, that comes at a lower price.
