Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Percocet tablets are unlikely to cause any "leakage" of protein or sugar in urine. This happens particularly if you have developed high blood glucose, (above 180 mg) then only glucose is excreted in the urine by kidneys. This is a sign of developing diabetes. As regards protein in urine, normally no proteins are excreted. That is a sign of some problem with kidney function. It can happen in various conditions including diabetes. So it is essential to get your blood glucose tested (fasting, PP, and HbA1c%) also kidney function test done. That will clarify the reasons.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
