I have a 20 GLS, couple years use, some seepage on one of the welded corners.
is this a common? issue?
not enough like dripping.

Toss it before it becomes a catastrophe.
I’d replace it with a rigid plastic one, there’s just too many ways for things to go wrong with a bladder on a boat.
For long passages, I’ll carry a couple drums on deck rather than a bladder.
 
I tried a bladder on recent trip Ensenada to La Paz, 100 gallons, had been used once before.

The bladder seeped, I had to place absorbers under and around it replacing every 2-3 days, a real pain.

I’ll never use one again, emptied it in Mag Bay and gave to local fisherman.
