I tightened the nut like three of four more quarter turns and the leak stopped. Still watching it but that seems to have been the issue, selecting this as the answer as it was first posted, up votted everybody else as you were all right

Glad you got it sorted. FWIW, you're way more likely to strip the threads on the popup than break the porcelain of a sink. My general rule is to see if it leaks, then tighten a bit more if needed.

its not porcelain, it is polymarble so it is way more prone to cracking and a softer material isn't it?

I don't have any experience with polymarble... maybe there's a question there.
