A 5 knot leak in 3 minutes with 150 knots applied was typically taught as an acceptable standard for a non-pressurised light aircraft when the maintenance manual may not specify any actual leak rates. I think CAIP's even contained this when I was training 30-odd years ago. Once you get into higher altitude pressurised types, many MMs allow no leak at all.
