I think the photo shows the back of the TE attachment fittings. I
would say the tubing has come off. Easy fix. Get drawings, drill a
hole in the side of the fin, reattach and repair the hole according
to repair manual. Would require a licensed A&P to sign off.

Clearly a Dr. Who rerun.

Attack of the o-ring men?
The Three o-rings?

Thank Eric, this does seem like what has happened, although it seems the tubing is still attached to the barbed fitting but the barbed fitting itself broke loose from its connection to the metal TE tube based on drawings from Grob.
