What was found

MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL NOTICED FLUID LEAKAGE FROM BELLY PANEL AFT OF LANDING GEAR FOLLOWING PILOT'S COMPLETION OF "SPOILER AUTO EXTEND" PREFLIGHT CHECK BY FLIGHT CREW. VISUAL INSPECTION DETERMINED SPOILER AUTO EXTEND LINE ASSEMBLY TO BE LEAKING PAST B-NUT AND SLEEVE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO SPOILER CONTROL DUMP VALVE. DEFECT WAS CRACK AT LIP OF DOUBLE FLARE. MOST PROBABLE CAUSE IS SUDDEN SHOCK FROM AUTO EXTEND ACTIONS AT LANDING AND DURING PREFLIGHT CHECKS.
