It can be common yes. Mine went on my 03 WRX and i ran it another 3 years before i had it changed! What happens is it is a bonded edge radiator. The bonding gives up and therefore it leaks out when hot, etc. Some times i lost a little water and others times i seemed to lose 'an inch' worth. Due to my state of tuning and another remap, i decided to get it sorted once and for all and had it changed.
Mine was spraying over the top, LH side, and when hot over the other side too.
