Fuites externes d'une très faible quantité de fluide à la surface d'un composant, dues en général aux "pertes" des joints soumis à des charges cycliques de pression. Lorsque le fluide est un liquide, un léger film peut apparaître sur la surface externe du composant, mais des gouttes de fluide ne doivent pas se former pendant toute la période d'observation.
