Tubeless sealant leak whilst riding

Hi all. I have converted my tubeless ready wheels for my gravel bike to tubeless using the muc off kit. When I hit a rock/bump, some sealant escapes from between the rim and the tyre. It happens the whole way round the rim so I'm left with some sealant up the side wall of the tyre. Some air is obviously escaping at the same time, so the tyre slowly loses a few psi over the course of a ride.

Is that normal? What's the fix? Thank you in advance!

    I would put on another layer or 2 of rim tape. Sealant escaping around the bead suggests that the interface between the tyre and rim could be tighter.
