Is Bleeding Normal After The Removal Of Chest Tube?

had a lung chest tube taken out this morning and it leaked a little and they told me not to worry. I have been home for 4 hours and it is leaking more to the point when I am holding a wash cloth. I just want to make sure I am ok and how much can it leak?
