No, they aren't correct. The leaks are still insignificant, and this article is sensationalizing a pretty mundane reason for the return trip delay. They're only "stranded" insofar as NASA wants more time to collect data, and the spacewalk they were planning to do just that had to be postponed because one of the astronauts couldn't get comfortable in their EVA suit.
At least we know where they are keeping the whistle blowers.
