Both of its saddles are, one of them is totally intact, he was totally filled up, but one of the 50-gallon drums has a pretty steady leak. We've got some pads now, but we're not going to be able to actually deck this thing up or put plug on it. It's too big for us to be able to do it, and the tow truck's not going to take it until the thing is either stops or it's drained.
