I come back from lunch at a distant airport and the aircraft
is leaking fuel. I've now determined it needs repair and I
haven't yet flown (home.)

" and the PIC has flown the plane away from its home
location,"

I've previously flown the plane to the "distant airport."

I agree with Peter - the wording seems to cover someone who
finds out at a remote location that he needs repair before
coming home. At best, it's ambiguous.
