floozy

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

'woman's who's fallen' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'case of fuel leaking?' is the wordplay.
'case of' means to remove the middle letters (outsides of).
'leaking?' becomes 'oozy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'fuel' with its middle removed is 'fl'.
'fl'+'oozy'='FLOOZY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for floozy that I've seen before include "Woman of loose morals (slang)" , "hooker" , "Disreputable woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
