leakily
In dripping fashion
In a leaky manner—allowing liquid, gas, or information to escape through gaps or holes.
The word is rare, appearing mostly when describing faulty plumbing, worn seals, or eyes prone to tears: The faucet dripped leakily all night.
Figuratively, it can describe how secrets or data seep out: classified documents leakily made their way to reporters.
