I mean there was just a helium leak they detected like a month ago, causing a delay and decided wasn't worth taking the whole thing apart to fix, just send it.
Helium leaks all the time, it's a very small molecule that is very hard to contain. ULA and SpaceX have flown with worse.
Besides, helium leaks make radio chatter way more entertaining.
