Clearly a Dr. Who rerun.


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

It's likely an o-ring. But so what. Looking in the hole may not tell you much, well not from a single photo.

Again, take this to an experienced glider A&P and get help. Especially because you are working on a type certificated aircraft and I am guessing you are not qualified to. A competent glider A&P will be able to determine exactly what is going on, what's leaking or cross leaking and then spend time trying to find out where. They should be very experienced at trying to work out if it's a faulty o-ring or probe or mount connection, or whatever and have the right tools to pick out and replace o-rings. maybe correct o-rings on hand, able to cut out and replace the probe mount if that is needed, etc. etc. etc.

You fix problems by fixing them, ideas of leaving TE lines faulty and trying to use them as static are a waste of your time. "running out of time" is the entirely wrong attitude here.
