Two things should happen:
1) All network traffic should go through the VPN tunnel.
2) All DNS requests should be sent to the VPN provider's DNS server and not to the one configured in the OS.
If either or both of these two things isn't happening then it's a DNS leak.
If I understood correctly, then mahkoh was saying that (2) doesn't matter if the host DNS is configured to use Google's public DNS server 8.8.8.8. That's what I called "leaking to Google".
