Going to chime in on this;
The leak, believe it or not, is good. When a tarantula burrows in the wild the surface is often dry, the lower levels damper and moisture, this gives the tarantula a gradiant to select the humidity they want and enjoy. I would always recomend new and various ways of making a wter gradiant in your tank as it helps with critical things like molting! though the usual way is a pvc pipe not a watering dish
In regard to prey items drowning, you can take aquirum screening and place it along the bottom of the "bowl" and have it hang out, this gives the prey items something to grip to so they can crawl out.
my 2cents.
