leakier
Less watertight now
Leakier is the comparative form of leaky—more prone to letting liquid, gas, or information escape than something else.
A boat may be leakier than it was last summer.
A government agency may be leakier than its counterparts: The State Department has always been leakier than the Pentagon.
