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?

You fix problems by fixing them, ideas of leaving TE lines faulty
