## Discrepancy

LEAK DISCOVERED DURING A PITOT/STATIC LEAK TEST, THAT ONLY EVIDENCED ITSELF ABOVE 180 KNOTS.  FOUND LEAK AT EPOXY GLUE THAT IS APPLIED TO ITS SIDE AT MFG.  CONTACTED BEECH/BOMBARDIER, WHO, IN TURN, CONTACTED THE PART MFG.  THEY ADVISED REPAIR OF LEAK IS AS EASY AS APPLYING MORE CHEMLOCK 304 OVER THAT ALREADY IN PLACE AS A RESULT OF MFG.  NEWEST VERSION OF PART INCLUDED AN H IN ITS PART NUMER AND IS WELDED INSTEAD OF GLUED.  PURCHASED A NEW PART FOR REPLACEMENT.   (X)
