Abstract
An information handling system may include an information handling resource, a liquid cooling system for providing cooling of the information handling resource, and a leak detection system for detecting a leak of fluid from the liquid cooling system, the leak detection system comprising a leak detection circuit having at least one moisture-sensitive portion configured to detect the presence of moisture proximate to the leak detection circuit and circuitry configured to communicate one or more electrical signals indicative of the presence or absence of moisture proximate to the leak detection circuit and a moisture wicking material mechanically coupled to the leak detection circuit and configured to transport moisture within the moisture wicking material to the at least one moisture-sensitive portion of the leak detection circuit.
