Unwanted loss of liquid (7)

I believe the answer is:

leakage

(Other definitions for leakage that I've seen before include "That which seeps out" , "Something that has escaped, like gas or secret" , "Escape of liquid/gas" , "Escaping liquid or gas" , "Gradual escape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
