Youtuber Marcus House and Chamelon Circuit provided a graphic of where the fuel leak was in the SpaceX Starship yesterday. It was just above the engines in the new block 2 Starship. SpaceX has reduced the time needed reconnect after a quick disconnect from over 6 hours to just over 2 hours.

Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity. Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume. This caused the loss of SpaceX Starship 33 in flight 7. ... Read more
