 Re: Soft Palate Leak (Stress VPI)

Basically, the velum (the muscular flap that closes your nose off when you speak or breathe through your mouth) doesn't close reliably, letting exhaled air go through your nose and reducing the available air pressure at your vocal chords or (in our case) the reed. I think as a medical condition it gets more attention as a speech problem, which must be a much more severe problem than what I've described, since there's very little air pressure required for speech relative to what's needed to push air through the aperture and inside of a clarinet mouthpiece.

I'm sure VPI is what you're calling a palatial leak. As I understand it (I'm not medically trained) VPI happens slightly behind the soft palate, where the nasal passages open into the throat.
