leak

A leak is a way (usually an opening) 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. The word leak usually refers to a gradual loss; a sudden loss is usually called a spill.
The matter leaking in or out can be gas, liquid, a highly viscous paste, or even a solid such as a powdered or granular solid or other solid particles.
Sometimes the word "leak" is used in a figurative sense. For example, in a news leak secret information becomes public.
According to ASTM D7053-17, water leakage is the passage of (liquid) water through a material or system designed to prevent passage of water.

    Water inside charging door.

    There's always a bunch of water inside this gap where the door is suppose to close. Because of the angle the water doesn't escape. Everything else seems dry. Ideas? My car charges inside so it's not due to being open when charging.

    Car leaking from underneath , Prefacelift LR

    I noticed a small puddle under the car when I parked on my drive tonight. Then noticed the car is dripping from the underside of the body. The fluid is water , it’s not sticky it doesn’t smell and it’s definitely not oil . Is this just some drainage from the AC system?
