A leaky abstraction is a notion applied to implementations of an abstraction. This notion indicates that specific implementation details manifest themselves in a counter-productive way, thus interfering with the abstraction. The implementation details are said to "leak through" and interfere with the simplifying assumptions supposedly enabled by the abstraction. Within the software industry, leaky abstractions are a common source of software bugs.
