Disclosure of secret information (7)

I believe the answer is:

leakage

(Other definitions for leakage that I've seen before include "Gradual escape" , "Escape of liquid - or private information" , "Amount seeping away" , "Liquid/gas accidentally lost" , "Escape of liquid/gas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
