Maybe the label attached to the teabag acted like a flag. It draws the heavier bag in the direction of the leak as it floats around the station.

I put the leak down to Russian flatulence, with their potato-based diet.

Lesson of the day, mash potatoes might give you the runs but at least you don't make a sound...
