The magnetic leakage should be very small and designers go to some lengths to reduce it as far as possible because it causes leakage inductance, which is a bad thing. Ideally the magnetic field must be confined to the magnetic core of the transformer.

The leakage flux is the magnetic flux that escapes the armature of the transformer and thus does not provide coupling from the primary windings to the secondary windings. If not minimized it can be a significant cause of energy loss and inefficiency in Transformers.

Any magnetic flux generated by the primary winding that doesn't link with the secondary winding is called 'leakage' flux.
