Is my yellow toner at risk of leaking?

I had to replace my cyan and magenta toners for the same issue as can be seen here. I do not have a photo of the yellow toner but it's basically doing the same thing. I have a new yellow toner on hand but this one still has a bit of life left, the others were too close to not call it.

Is this leak worrisome to the point it's probably time to replace the yellow as well?

Is this a good question?

Ended up needing to replace yellow too :/. It got to that point as well.

Laser toners do shed a bit of toner through use. I wouldn’t call it a leak exactly. I used to sometimes wear gloves because the cartridges were covered in powder. Depending on levels you’re probably better changing them as a set then hopefully they’ll all need replaced at the same time.

I'm changing them as I go, not as a set. The black is still fine

My concern was the severity of it; I honestly expect a little bit, but this was bad. The waste toner on the cartridge was full.
