Subject: [CR]Campy quick release question

My question today is, do quick releases wear out? I have a mid 70's NR hub with quick release that when tightened so the lever is parallel with the fork the lever slowly opens. This happens almost immediately then stops when the lever is maybe 15- 20 degrees from parallel. I've tried loosening or tightening the nut on the opposite side but it still wants to open. Worn out quick release?
