Answer 5

It means that even small faults, if left unattended, can have very serious consequences just as a small leak will eventually let in so much water that even a large ship will sink.
Something small can have a big effect

A small leak (small problem) can grow bigger and bigger if you don't fix it.
So basically if you have a problem but you don't do anything about it, it will get worse and kick you back later on, except it'll be a bigger problem.
Or it means that if you don't work well with a group of people and you disagree with them, then you could be the little leak, and you will sink the project - mess it up - for all the rest of the people.

Small flaws can spell mayhem for great things. Just as a little water dripping into the hold of a ship will eventually fill it up and sink the ship.
