Able to prevent leaks in Asia or Europe? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

continent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'europe?' is the definition.
(Europe is a continent)

'able to prevent leaks in asia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'content' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for continent that I've seen before include "Self-restrained" , "Europe, say" , "chaste" , "Large landmass" , "Virtuous" .)

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