Poor choice of words, eh? 
Oh, when current leaks out, it doesn't form puddles, Fred, it vaporizes into thin air, not thick air, but thin air, and sometimes has a rather pungent smell.
My thinking behind 'leaky' is I've experienced relay controlled, relatively large, DC motors source amps to ground not sufficient to turn the armature yet adequate to load the system, e.g. this motor has a 30 amp fuse, indicating maximum acceptable current draw. If the relay is 'partially' on due to failing contacts etc, it's possible to have some current, let's just say 3 - 5 amps being drawn that aren't sufficient to activate the motor yet more than enough to cause a small voltage drop in the circuit - and at this point I'm chasing down about .2 to .3 vdc drop, the difference between the oem harness and the external harness. :blink:
Oh, yeah and did I mention that Wabs had an electrically 'leaky' fuel pump? :lol:
To the man who owns a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail?
