Has anyone ever experienced ferrofluid leaking from the tweeters.

It wouldn't ever leak. There is just simply not enough for it to ever really cause a problem.
It is not like there is a cavity in which a lot of ferrofluid is stored.
Saying that the tweeter is ferrofluid cooled just means that a few drops of it is placed in between the voice coil and magnet structure. If you have ever opened up a tweeter and seen some black liquidy gunk, that is the ferrofluid.

There is some oily fluid that has leaked out from the bottom port onto the floor.
Any thoughts.

Hmm - Why don't you open the speaker and look inside. Taking out the tweeter isn't too hard - you just need a T25 bit.
