Ok 'hey', see if you can wrap your tiny little brain around this concept. Vacuum leak doesn't mean "allowing vacuum to escape", just as gasket leak doesn't mean "allowing the gasket to escape", and radiator leak doesn't mean "allowing the radiator to escape". The term identifies the system which is leaking, rather than the substance, which in this case is air.

Then say you have a vacuum problem to identify the system. The vacuum isn't leaking. The "system" is doing what it is supposed to do, create vacuum. As for your analogies, gaskets do leak, of course it doesn't mean the gasket is escaping, instead they leak fluid or let air out. A vacuum leak is not letting vacuum out. It's negative air flow not positive flow. Vacuum as demonstrated on our vehicles is suction. How would you propose suction leak? Is this some kind of expanding black hole phenomenon which threatens to swallow the entire universe? The radiator does leak, it leaks a fluid if it's broken. Your terminology only continues to spread the wrong idea.

actually, a vacuum leak IS letting vacuum out, by letting positive pressure in, there is a decrease in vacuum, and therefore, vacuum really is "getting out". Since vacuum is the opposite of pressure, it makes sense that if a pressurized system leaks by getting out, a vacuum leak is achieved by the medium getting in.
Call it what you want, it's really just a matter of symantics, but vacuum leaks CAN and DO exist in our physical world. It is not just a phenomenon created by some idiot who has nothing better to do than hypocritically critique other people's posts.
Taaaadaaaaa!

I never said they don't.

Precisely how?
