Leak what?
fluid?
it may not leak fluid, but it may be an extremely small crack which will leak air. Think of the clarinet as a "pressured" tube with one open end. If there is a miniscule leak anywhere before the open end then the instrument may "play fine" for people but would be lacking the deep tone others would expect due to a small leak and may have very minor playing issues. And it may, after 10 minutes of playing start having larger inconsistencies (due to expansion).

Also you mention "surface" crack. The tonehole cylinder itself has a surface going to the bore. Yes there is a metal tube there but a thin surface crack down the tonehole could be possible.

Dependent upon ambient temperature, the outside may cool faster than the inside. Thus causing opposing forces and cause a crack. Warming up the outside is totally dependent upon the outside temperature which needs to be warmed to the bore for stable wood. At different layers of the wood you could have different temperatures. There is a lot to that .. such as if one comes inside from winter temperatures, and various other things.

The one thing you do know, is that there is a long crack there.

but to each their own
