Mako is the processed life-energy once it's been drawn out of the Planet and turned into a form suitable for consumption in the generation of energy. It's a relatively new technology that was utilized on my home world to provide convenient energy for the populace.
You've the right of it, though. There were a few leaks, from time to time, but no more than might be expected - all equipment degrades through use. You have to bear in mind, Mako reactors were only built in areas where the lifestream ran suitably close to and in high-enough concentrate to the surface of the Planet for it to be harvested profitably; these areas may well have been a little more dangerous than most even before the advent of mako energy.
To answer your last; that, I suspect, is more the relevant question at this point.
