Q: memory leak?

I have a MacBook Air, mid-2012, running OS 10.11.3, 4 gb memory.  In Activity Monitor, the memory hog is kernel_task:

 

kernel_tas523.0 MB0 bytes11800root0 bytes0 bytes64 bit5.62:19:33.301.92 GB0 bytes0 bytesNoNoNo0 bytes0 bytes00-0 bytesNoYes

 

 

It is using 1.92 GB of Real Memory.

 

I get continual notices that my disk is full.  I run Memory Monitor regularly and keep all caches and downloads cleaned out.  At this point iPhoto will not download my photos because my memory is full.

 

Any way I can fix this problem myself?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
