A system for detecting leaks on a surface, such as a floor or a bottom of an equipment cabinet, includes a sound wave generator configured to generate sound waves, a tube having a first end coupled to the sound wave generator, a second end opposite the first end, and a plurality of openings formed in the tube, and a sound wave receiver coupled to the second end of the tube. The sound wave receiver is configured to detect sound waves generated by the sound wave generator that travel through the tube. The arrangement is such that sound waves are blocked from detection by the sound wave receiver when fluid enters the tube through the plurality of openings in the tube thereby indicating a fluid leak on the surface.
