Veiled Egg Leaking??

I went to check on my batch of veiled chameleon eggs today and one looked like it was leaking out yolk. The egg is still quite firm and not sunken in at all.. The substance has turned hardish and it wasn't there last time I checked the eggs (a couple weeks ago).

It was a VERY large clutch of 62, now down to 61. The egg still appears healthy, so I'm not sure what's going on with it! Any knowledge and opinions are welcome! I am taking the daddy of the clutch to the vet for his annual exam and I will probably bring the eggs along for the appointment.

I would check for other life forms in with the eggs. Earwing, any nats or flies, that might of pierced egg. Also check moisture of medium they are in. Might be too wet, causing egg to swell up to big and pop.
 
It's actually one of the smaller of the eggs. There is no bugs or anything that I could find in the container, but I have decided to move them into a different area of my house. The moisture seems to be right, this is the only egg that is doing this
