What is the difference between seepage and leakage?
Does this two nouns and their verbs mean the same?
As far as I know, both mean a liquid unexpectedly flowing out of something (pipe, tube, hose, etc.)
Thanks for the help! :)

Usually, to leak is to go through a hole or a crack. (example - Water leaked from the cracked pipe.)
