How is Class 2 leakage described?

Class 2 leakage is characterized as forming drops but not dripping. This means that while there are visible drops present, they are not so significant or numerous that they would fall continuously from the source. This classification is important because it helps assess the severity of the leakage in terms of its potential impact on the vehicle's operation and safety.

In the context of inspection and maintenance of the HMMWV, identifying the level of leakage is critical for determining the necessary corrective actions. Class 2 leakage indicates that there is a need for monitoring and potentially addressing the issue, but it does not require immediate action like a Class 3 leakage, which would involve continuous dripping. Understanding these classifications helps maintain the reliability and effectiveness of the vehicle in operational environments.
