The leaks are fuel from what i remember.
What would they be used for, no room for bombs

Or maybe they were just manufactured by Norton or BSA
Not only did they p155 out fuel everywhere, but IIRC the fuel itself was a very exotic cocktail developed specifically (and exclusively) for the J58 motor. So it would have needed its own dedicated tanker force, just to add to the already-dizzying expense of operation...
Didn't they have to take-off with minimum fuel aboard due to the weight bending the wings too much. They would then fill the tanks from an air to air transfer. Or is that another plane I'm thinking of?
Come to think of it, I'm probably thinking of the U-2 spy plane.
