So where did all the amonia leaks go, did it just boil away and the seals
resealed?


NASA says the quick disconnect valve closed this time (walk #2)
"Wheelock successfully closed the quick disconnect valve for the final
fluid connector for the failed ammonia pump module. Then he
successfully detached the final fluid line." http://www.nasa.gov/

And space.com says
"It came down to brute strength in the end for NASA astronauts Douglas
Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson to remove the balky ammonia hose,
which had stuck fast and leaked toxic ammonia coolant during an
earlier spacewalk. "
