A rotorcraft actuator monitoring system (302) to monitor leakage past dynamic rotorcraft actuator seals (308) of a rotorcraft actuator (300) includes a body member (312) and a fluid level indication housing (316) attached to the body member. The body member is mounted to surround a dynamic rotorcraft actuator seal (308) that seals fluid in a rotorcraft actuator, where the body member captures fluid that leaks past the dynamic rotorcraft actuator seal (308). The fluid level indication housing (316) collects the fluid captured by the body member (312) and indicates that a predetermined volume of fluid that leaked past the dynamic rotorcraft actuator seal (308) has been collected.
