While the US government has been fretting over Wikileaks...
Philippine authorities have been mystified since July...
By a tricky leak.
For the last four months...
Experts have been trying to trace a leak...
That has spilled an average of 10 drums of petroleum daily...
Into the basement of a high-rise condominium in Makati City.
In the final days of October...
The search for the leak...
Focused on a 41-year old underground oil pipeline...
That runs from  refineries in Batangas...
To the Pandacan oil depot in Manila.
It's a puzzle that has called for a mix of high-tech solutions...
And some good old fashioned digging.
