Do links in the source code which are not visible on the page leak link juice?

Hi folks

I was wondering do the links that you get in the source code of your wordpress pages like the w3.org ones and any others that your plugins may put in, are these links leaking link juice? Should you nofollow them or remove them altogether? Do they need to be there?

Many thanks

    You can't leak juice so it doesn't matter. Outgoing links on your site are not going to effect your site or the amount of juice any other link on your site receives.

    So don't worry about it.

    Link juice is an old and outdated SEO practice that was squashed by google years ago.

    This is assuming you want to direct the link juice on to someplace else that is.

    Thanks

    I'm curious as well. I saw StatCounter sneaking in some interesting anchor words into their tracking source code the other day. I believe it was 'GoDaddy Tracking' or something.
