The tube is an air tight setup when filled... it would be quite difficult for anything to "drip into" a filled airtight tube when it is full of air. Sort of like trying to get water into a full balloon.
Perhaps what you are seeing is the white powder that often is in tubes to keep the rubber from sticking together.
