From @blarsen10: Similar issue to https://github.com/nanograv/PINT/issues/1432 . PINT claims "observatory leap requires no clock corrections," but it does actually need them. I found out from Kuo Liu on the IPTA slack that leap uses a two-tier correction to gps, first leap2effix, and then effix2gps (this should be similar to the way clock corrections are applied for ncyobs). Both of these files are available on the Tempo2 clock files page on github but I'm not sure what's the best way to get them read by PINT. It looks in particular like leap2effix.clk is missing from the global clock corrections repo.

We have effix2gps already. I have just added leap2effix. Once that makes it to the web, PINT should be able to add the proper observatory clock correction description and have it work.
