It has nothing to do with cryogenic engine, Problem was in second stage, Vehicle will be moved back to Assembly Line and will be fixed.

Next date of Launch will be announced either today or Tomorrow.

Its good that they spotted the problem.

No they will remove all fuel, recheck and reschedule - might take at least 3-4 weeks.

Possible disaster avoided.

But in press conference they were saying they will announce the next date after couple of hours, after accessing the problem ?

I really hope ISRO makes it this time.

Really, it will be music to sore ears after days of listening to bad news of our jawans getting killed, rupee falling, political jibes etc..

ISRO aborts GSLV-D5 launch after fuel leak - The Hindu

 

[halfilhal]

Does this points toward structural issue, i.e., the total weight exerting too much stress on the rocket structure leading to a leak? Last time too ISRO blamed something to this effect for the failure - snapping of bands or something.
