What is a leak? 

A leak is categorized as follows:

“A leak is a way for fluid to escape a container or fluid-containing system, such as a tank or a ship’s hull, through which the contents of the container can escape or outside matter can enter the container. Leaks are usually unintended and therefore undesired”.
