Yup, that's what leakage looks like.

Not sure what you mean by "Sustains with that level at zero then turns off
w/out it moving." However, I do recall that the volume envelope has a
squelch so that when it gets to zero, it is suddenly driven negative, to
kill any possible bleedthrough. When you do the Volume Offset adjustment
(LF, A, 9), this squelching is suppressed so that you can hear if there's
any residual offset. Unless you mean something completely different, I think
you need to do the Volume Offset adjustment.
