The tenon cork has worn through on the middle tenon showing the grooved slot beneath it, so that tenon cork will have to be replaced.

Likewise with the tenon corks wrapped in PTFE tape as that has only been wrapped around them to add more bulk to keep the joints together and prevent leaks - you don't need to add Teflon tape to a new tenon cork, but you will have to grease it to keep it supple, make it easy to assemble and also to prevent the cork drying out.

See the attachments as that's what a tenon cork should look like once fitted.
