No definite technical meaning in my opinion.

Sometime, the process of route redistribution is referred as "leaking". Other possibility is a reference to a memory leak, although less likely.

In any case, a not exact terminology has been used by your interviewer.

an interview is a tour-de-force.

I would simply ask the interview when can a Type -2 LSA be seen on a point-to-point network...

The interviewer would never try that junk again with me...

Here is an example one interviewer asked me if I knew "reload in". I explained that with NTP, I prefer "reload at".
