How much lymph from a lobe piercing is too much?

i recently got a completely normal 14g earlobe piercing, it has a titanium horse-shoe style piece of jewelry in it. i've had a 12g lip ring, and currently have a 10g septum ring. both healed fine, and naturally produced some lymph (whitish-clear fluid that dries into crusties) I do a sea-salt water soak of the hottest water i can stand 2-3 times a day, and then clean the ring with q-tips dipped into the solution. so here is my question. How much/how long should my lobe ooze lymph before i become concerned? my lobe piercing is putting out WAYYY more lymph than any of my other piercings. like 2x3 times as much, to where the jewelry/my ear is ALWAYS crusty. it is still whitish-clear (sometimes a bit yellow) i've been doing this for over a week, and it is still oozing lymph. there is no pain, very VERY little swelling (from sleeping on it) should i be worried? what am i doing wrong?
