I always consider 'leaky' to mean that they are somewhere along the road
to 'short' and just haven't arrived yet. Leakage, particularly on HT
circuits, will ultimately lead to heating and then is just a matter of time.


I figure we all have a certain mental tolerance of how much we can live
with in a certain part of the circuit but the other factor is 'time'.
Same applies to drifted carbon resistors.
