Apart form a big smelly puddle under your plane you can also know there is fuel leak by using your operational flight plan. This can give you a clear indication that something is not going as it should. All these guys that don't even fly with an operational flight plan are pretty brave. This will not only work for fuel leek but changing conditions that will take you to a situation where the fuel at destination is not good enough.

A good track of fuel and time on a plog is the best early warning on something not working well.
