## Discrepancy

PRIOR TO EITHER LANDING GEAR EXTENSION OR FLAP EXTENSION DURING APPROACH INTO DTW, THE RT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FAILED.  QUANTITY DROPPED TO BELOW 3 QTS AND PRESSURE WENT TO ZERO.  COMPLIED WITH COM AND EXTENDED GEAR PER LEFT SYSTEM PROCEDURE.  GEAR EXTENDED NORMALLY AND INDICATED ALL 3 GREEN WITH DOORS CLOSED.  LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL AT DTW.  CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY PRIOR TO LANDING.  MAINTENANCE FOUND A FITTING ON THE RIGHT SIDE PRESSURE FOR GEAR UPLOCK LEAKING.  TIGHTENED FITTING.  LEAK AND OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
