Why did my pastry leak?

I made a raised pork pie, and the thing leaked a lot of butter. I ignored the directions to make a hot water crust because it didn’t sound very good to me, and I made a regular pie pastry crust. It held up well because I made it thick and followed the directions otherwise. I don’t usually get a lot of butter bleeding out, what went wrong? submitted by /u/FoxFarm1991
