## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR DID NOT RETRACT ON TAKEOFF; RETURN TO LAND.  AIRCRAFT JACKED BY MAINTENANCE CONFIRMED THAT GEAR WOULD RETRACT TO ''IN-TRANSIT'' MODE ONLY.  DETERMINED RIGHT MAIN GEAR ACTUATOR WAS LEAKING FROM WEEP-HOLE WHEN IN ''RETRACT'' POSITION AND A RETRACTION CYCLE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED.  INSTALLED A SERVICEABLE RT MAIN ACTUATOR AND FUNCTIONAL TESTED GEAR OPERATION SATISFACTORY.  RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (X)
