## Discrepancy

FOUND AN OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE BASE OF THE LEFT MAGNETO. REMOVED MAG TO REPLACE GASKET. FELT SOMETHING ON THE MOUNTING FLANGE OF THE MAG. FOUND A SECTION OF THE FLANGE ABOUT 1 1/4 INCH CRACKED WHERE THE HOLD DOWN CLIP CLAMPS THE MAG TO THE ENGINE CASE. A LITTLE HAND PRESSURE AND THE CRACKED SECTION CAME OFF.
