You mean the gallons of fluid spewing from the ship wasn't a strong indicator of a leak?

They knew there was a leak but didn't know it was due to a hole in the spacecraft due to a collision with a small piece of space debris or micrometeorite. It could have been a bad seal on that structure or a failure of a pump. The new information is the cause of the leak, not that there was a leak.
