Hi,

There is a hole in our tank and the water is spilling/dropping/dripping out of it.

The glass has some cracks and water is dripping out of it.

You need to look at the word 'leak'.

Water

Thanks a lot. I would be glad at what event each of those words can be used.
As far as I know, when water drips, water runs down in very small drops via the small hole, and spilling means the same. No idea about dropping though.
