Will a very small leak hurt my mead?

I have a 2.5 gal batch of banana foster mead that I started two months ago. I just noticed a small leak on the spigot maybe last week. The amount that’s dripping out seems very small and it’s not even mead. It’s more like a syrup. Most likely a misaligned O-ring or the spigot isn’t tight enough. will this damage the mead in the long run? Would it be better to shift to secondary and stabilize, or will it be okay? The recipe is attached in the last picture.
