You have mixed the information from two packets here:

Number 10 (the upper part) from 83.132.242.113 is from something outside
of the Tor network. A reverse DNS reveals it's from netcabo.pt, which
seems to be a Portuguese ISP. The source port number suggests it's some
sorts of audio/video streaming protocol (Vosiac). If this part appears
every time you do POP, it's a bit suspicious.

Number 11 (the lower part) is just an ARP request. It seems your router
(192.168.1.254) simply want to know the MAC address of 192.168.1.65 for
whatever reason. What is 192.168.1.65 on your network?

Are you really sure that these two appears _every_ single time you do
POP? Are you sure that you have turned off all other applications that
use the Internet?

88.198.51.7 is a Tor relay, probably your entry guard.

schatten.darksystem.net is the same as 88.198.51.7, which probably is
your entry guard.

When obfuscating MAC addresses it's better to do so with the latter part
of it -- the first numbers are much more easy to guess since they are
determined by the manufacturer, model etc. of the network interface.

Why do you think there is a leak? Only the first two packages (10 and
11) seems to be a bit out of the ordinary. All the other traffic is
between you and the Tor network which is expected.

And since you use NAT, the EHLO/HELO leak mentioned earlier isn't so
bad, but since you use Torbutton that should be taken care of any way.
