A "size leak" was, according to the Eleventh Doctor, when a dying TARDIS' "bigger on the inside" leaked to the outside due to a breakdown of the dimension dams. This happened to his TARDIS in an alternate timeline where he died during the Siege of Trenzalore. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)
When meeting his successor, the First Doctor commented that their TARDIS had increased in size. The Twelfth Doctor justified that it was to be expected, given it has been "tucking [its] tummy in" for over 1,500 years. (TV: Twice Upon a Time) The Seventh Doctor claimed that chameleonic fluctuation was responsible for the TARDIS exterior subtly changing over many years whilst it remained locked in the form of a police box. (PROSE: St Anthony's Fire [+]Loading...["St Anthony's Fire (novel)"])

The sentient planet House was covered in the remains of dead TARDISes that presumably "bloomed" in this manner. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)
