I think the name "grid leak resistor" should only be used when the tube is biased by means of the grid leakage current with an over size "grid resistor". Otherwise it should simply be called a "grid resistor".Just my opinion.
Hey, I found someone who agrees with me.
"Grid leak resistor
A very large resistor from the grid of a tube to ground, which is used to generate the bias voltage for the tube. See "grid leak biasing" for an explanation of how this works. This term is sometimes incorrectly used when referring to the grid-to-ground resistor in a cathode biassed configuration, which is used to provide a DC ground reference for the grid circuit."
