springing a leak

[Victor Steinbok]

  Here's a strange headline.

NSA Executive Leaked After Official Reporting Process Failed Him |
Threat Level | Wired.com

Normally, it wouldn't be necessary to assume that it was classified
information (or documents) that was leaked by an official, but, in this
headline, the object is missing completely. So it sounds like the
"Executive" may have sprung a leak.
