I could tell this morning that my water level control sensor probe was
not working properly - confirmed by drawing some liquid out of the
steam boiler and it didn't refill.

To test, I removed the connector from the probe, powered on, and it
started to fill.

This is likely related to horrible water in my area (hard, iron,
sulfur, yuck).  I soften, filter, and soften again in the Brewtus, but
suspect that the scale has gone crazy in the steam boiler.

I had the great idea to remove that probe and take a look at the tip.
I loosened the top/smaller nut and the probe lifted freely.  I then
pulled it through the teflon seal.  Sure enough, it was not pretty at
the end.

Cleaned it up and reinstalled.  In starting the descaling process, I
have a leak around that probe now.

I fully expect to hear I should have never removed it.  But, is there
a trick to getting that part to seal?  I suspect the trick is buying a
new part.

Thanks for any advice or comments.
