I'd define it as following: 

        Route Leak: When a misconfigured BGP speaker sends an NLRI Update to 
another
        Autonomous System and subsequently becomes a potential transit network 
for
        the given NLRI while this transit service is not aligned with the 
routing
        policy between the two networks, the NLRI Update is considered a route 
leak.

Kind regards,

Job
