         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more absorbent material attachment means is a latching device configured to be manipulated away from the absorbent material allowing quick release and removal of the absorbent material. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more absorbent material attachment means is a latching device having a “T” shape. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further including one or more panels angularly extending from the receiving device. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further including one or more splash guards angularly coupled to the receiving device. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving device is one of a plurality of geometric shapes and sizes, wherein the geometric shapes include at least rectangular, square, oval, round, oblong, and/or circular shape, and the sizes may be a defined size according to user preference. 
     
     
         10 . A leak catching apparatus, comprising:
 a receiving device configured to receive a fluid leaking from a sealed system that contains liquid;   an absorbent material positioned on the receiving device; and   one or more attachment means coupled to the receiving device, wherein the one or more attachment means are configured to temporarily secure the receiving device to the sealed system, one or more structures associated with the sealed system, or a combination thereof.   
     
     
         11 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 10 , further including a hinge coupled between the one or more attachment means and the receiving device. 
     
     
         12 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more attachment means is a rivet, a screw, a pin, a bolt, a fastener, a clip, a nail, a spring, a bracket, a nut, a slot, a rod, a clamp, an adhesive, or a combination thereof 
     
     
         13 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 10 , further including one or more absorbent material attachment means connected to the receiving device, wherein the one or more absorbent material attachment means is a latching device configured to be manipulated away from the absorbent material allowing quick release and removal of the absorbent material. 
     
     
         14 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 10 , further including one or more splash guards angularly coupled to the receiving device. 
     
     
         15 . A leak catching apparatus, comprising:
 a receiving means having a first section and a second section, wherein the receiving means is configured to receive a fluid leaking from a sealed system that contains liquid, wherein the first section is symmetrical about the second section, and the first section is configured to pivotally rotate with the second section;   an absorbent material housed on the first section;   one or more absorbent material attachment means coupled to the first section to secure the absorbent material to the first section; and   one or more attachment means coupled to the first section and the second section of the receiving means, wherein the one or more attachment means are configured to temporarily secure the receiving device to the sealed system, one or more structures associated with the sealed system, or a combination thereof   
     
     
         16 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 15 , further including a hinge coupled between the first section and the second section, wherein the hinge defines a pivot axis and the first section rotationally pivots via the hinge. 
     
     
         17 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more attachment means is a rivet, a screw, a pin, a bolt, a fastener, a clip, a nail, a spring, a bracket, a nut, a slot, a rod, a clamp, an adhesive, or a combination thereof 
     
     
         18 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more absorbent material attachment means is a latching device configured to be manipulated away from the absorbent material allowing quick release and removal of the absorbent material. 
     
     
         19 . The leak catching apparatus of  claim 15 , further including one or more splash guards angularly coupled to the first section, the second section, or a combination of the first section and the second section. 
     
     
         20 .
