ABSTRACT:
A fluid leak detection apparatus identifies the location of a fluid leak in a fluid containing vessel. The apparatus includes a wick having a sensing portion and a transmission portion. The sensing portion contacts a selected area of the fluid containing vessel. The transmission portion extends from the sensing portion to transmit by capillary action leaked fluid from the fluid containing vessel. An indicator, connected to the wick transmission portion and the indicator, is activated by the wetted wick to indicate a fluid leak at the sensing portion of the wick.
