first brew

[Raphael]

So, Ive got my very first brew underway last night, had a while to wait for the old bubbles to start appearing in the old bubbler, but now it is... I may have hybird yeast :)... Where the seal is on the lid, where the bubbler fits into, beer has started to leak out the seal, only probably two teaspoons so far.. is this ok?
Any help would be appreciated.

Congrats on getting your first brew on. If I understand correctly, your brew is fermenting and has formed a big frothy head (krausen) which has found its way through the seal between your airlock and lid? Either way, it's not a problem... clean it up and you'll be fine. If it continues or starts coming through the airlock you might want to consider a blow off tube but, for now, I'd wait and see what happens.
