## Discrepancy

DISCOVERED OIL LEVEL PROBE IN ENGINE OIL TANK TO HAVE ONE RIVET MISSING FROM THE DATA TAG AND THE PLASTIC END CAP CRACKED AT ONE RIVET HOLE.  THE DATA TAG WAS VERY LOOSE BUT STILL ATTACHED BY THE ONE REMAINING RIVET.  IF THE DATA TAG OR END CAP WERE TO COME LOOSE, THEY COULD RESTRICT OR PLUG THE ENGINE OIL SUPPLY STANDPIPE.  THE DEFECT WAS FOUND DURING AN ENGINE INSTALLATION.  THIS IS AN AIRFRAME SYSTEM COMPONENT.
