defective, report it. Use the following as a guide:

enough to form drops.
b.
Class II. Leakage great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause
drops to drip from item being checked/inspected.
c.
Class III. Leakage great enough to form drops that fall from the item
being checked/inspected.
CAUTION
Operation is allowable with Class I or II leakage except for brake
system. Any brake fluid leakage must be reported. WHEN IN
DOUBT, NOTIFY YOUR SUPERVISOR. When operating with
Class I or II leaks, check fluid levels more frequently. Class III
leaks must be reported immediately to your supervisor or to unit
maintenance. Failure to do this will result in damage to vehicle
and/or components.
