Agee with Steve, sounds like a T/E leak, could be anywhere from the back of
one of the instruments (or even inside one) to the probe connection on the
fin. You can check if you can get hold of some instrument tubing, a T
piece, a syringe and an old ASI. Connect pilot connection on ASI to one
branch of the T, syringe to another and 3rd to T/E port in fin. Slowwly
push in plunger on syringe, varios should read down. Stop pushing and
varios will com back to zero if no leak and will read up if there's a leak.
Up reading proprtional to size of leak.

Sounds like you have a leak in the TE line and they were both actually

If you had a leak between the capacity and the vario and a good

Could be a missed connection in the plane, or maybe your probe didn't
