Russian term or phrase: утечка нефти
Hello, can anyone confirm whether 'утечка' should be 'seepage' here please?

нефтяное загрязнение может быть разделено на "залповое" (аварийные разливы нефти) и "постепенное" (различного рода утечки и потери нефти.....при производстве работ нефтегазового комплекса).

Hopefully the last question from this text....

oil spillage / spillage of oil


Explanation:
Spillage:
the amount that has spilled;
The act of allowing a fluid to escape;
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=spillage
In industrial production, spillage is the loss of production output due to production of a series of defective or unacceptable products which must be rejected. Spillage is an often costly event which occurs in manufacturing when a process degradation or failure occurs that is not immediately detected and corrected, and in which defective or reject product therefore continues to be produced for some extended period of time.
