Etymology
Leakiness comes from the simple word leak, which means 'a hole or opening that lets water or air out', plus the ending -ness, meaning 'the quality of'. So, leakiness is the 'quality of' letting liquid or gas pass through holes or cracks, like a bucket with many small holes that slowly loses water.
