Abstract
A leak detection system includes an annular housing that defines a bore, a constriction with the bore, and a channel extending radially-outwardly from the bore and positioned upstream of the constriction. The leak detection system also includes a sensor positioned outside of the bore and fluidly coupled to the channel, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a leaked fluid within the bore.
