Since "he" in Marco's original post referred to the client's ISP, just 
to clarify, your ISP can't even see "leaked" data sent through Tor.  It 
would be encrypted before being sent through the Tor network.

Leaked data may compromise your anonymity if sniffed by an exit node, or 
by any intermediate router on the internet between the exit node and the 
destination.
