If the leak cannot be repaired at the time of detection, the leaking component must be physically marked or tagged in a manner that is readily observable and repaired within 24 hours of detection, unless repair parts are unavailable. Should repair parts be unavailable, the machine must be repaired as soon as practically possible.
