I was running the bags for Aircraft X I ran the first set of bags out of the front on the aircraft and D ran the rear.... when he arrived to the bag room he had a bag that actually had a boat motor in it and had gas leaking out of it the bag was ripped open and dripping gas he reported it and was told by the supervisor on call to place the bag in the oversize bin but he didn't feel comfortable to do that and I didn't feel that was the right thing to do so I made a phone call to another supervisor to get better verification on what protocol is and finally he told me to place it in a tub and have Baggage Service come pick it up with a cart and not to place it on the oversize bin cause then any bags placed after would get contaminated with the gas I felt more comfortable with this . ... but this definitely needs to get investigated on how this bag made it on the plane and actually went through 3 stops without getting flagged ... the lead called Maintenance to check the pit since some of the gas spilled inside the pit just wanted to notify you all on this occurrence today ... thanks in advance
