Leaking one gallon Rotella 15w40 containers

I purchased a couple of 6 one gallon cases of Rotella 15w40 oil a few months ago. I noticed the bottom of the of the cases seeping a little. Didn't think much of it. Today I went to garage and oil WAS ALL OVER, it had dripped down from the top shelf were I had it stored, down unto the 3 shelfs below, and left a big puddle on the floor!!!
When I opened the cases 3 or 4 of the one gallon bottles had split on the botton seam where the two halves of the plastic jug are glued together!!!
WHAT A MESS!!

FYI this was the older CI oil, I stocked up on 3 or 4 cases.

Anyone else ever see this happen???
