Hi It's about/high time means that whatever it is should have already happened or taken place. It's high time I got a pay rise = the pay rise is overdue (in my opinion).

It's about time he was leaving.
Many possible meanings.
1. I have been wanting him to leave for some time. I have been thinking that he should leave.
2. Because I know that he has to be somewhere else soon, I know it is almost time for him to leave.
3. Because of his disruptive behavior, it is now time for him to leave, in my opinion.
I will be glad to see
