[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the device comprises a conductive resin layer, one or two pairs of electrodes conductively connected to the conductive resin layer, and an outer cover provided on the outer periphery of these electrodes. In a liquid leakage sensor, in order to reduce the viscosity of the high viscosity fluid to be detected, the high viscosity fluid is heated by supplying a heating current to the conductive resin layer via the electrode. By configuring a liquid leakage sensor for fluids, when a highly viscous fluid in a low-temperature atmosphere reaches the leakage sensor body, it is heated to a certain temperature and its viscosity becomes low, making it easier for the fluid to enter the leakage sensor. Therefore, the effect of shortening the detection time can be obtained, and since the sensor resistance value is stabilized, the effect of preventing malfunction can be obtained.
