1620 Commence leak check with background rate of 2.1E-9 mbar*l/s. When checking front flange of EBox, rate increased by three orders of magnitude, suggesting a leak.
The brass flange, top IVC flange, stripline flange, and bottom IVC flange showed no signs of a leak, with the rate rising to a maximum of 5.7E-9 mbar*l/s, which is most likely due to the helium dispersing and being absorbed by the leak at the EBox.
1955 Little Blue's turbo has been turned on. Wait for IVC pressure to decrease overnight.
