As some have said you can ignore this and not worry about the RH, or you can seal up the leaky area. While you are sealing the humi put your cigars in a tupperware or rubbermaid container. They will keep fine there.
You could try taking it back to where ever you bought it and try to get one that has a better seal. Or, you can try sealing the leak with some wood glue -- nothing too caustic as you don't want to infect the wood with any bad odors (or flavors).
Let it dry and give it time to air out any odors from the glue, re-season it, and try again. You may find that there are additional leaks -- this is the problem with less expensive humidors.
I like a nice wooden desktop humidor -- love the spanish cedar, but my last two humidor purchases were Coleman coolers. Can't beat the price.

Its really not that big of a deal. All of us have stressed over Rh and temperature at one point or another. But as long as you are in the ballpark, the exact Rh of you box is not critical. Most cigars live just fine from 55-70.
As long as they are smoking well, you are golden.
