The issues were unrelated. The leak from yesterday was in the system that spins up the turbopump prior to engine ignition (using compressed helium).
The scrub today was related to some wonky readings on a sensor that measures the position of a hydraulic actuator that controls the direction of the second stage engine (the 'TVC' or 'thrust vector control' actuator).
