Question How much does your aeroplane leak?

I was a passenger on a 747 over the weekend and involved in an air return, due to electrical smells in the cabin.

It transpires that water leaking into the ceiling of the main level had caused a short circuit in a P.S.U. Whilst the engineers were fault finding and rectifying I noticed a considerable amount of water leaking from one of the overhead projectors.

The 'projector leak' was brought to the attention of the engineers, who said it was normal, and did not investigate.

I have never seen a pressurised aircraft leak like this, so my question is, how much does your aircraft leak, and what is considered normal?
