## Discrepancy

CREW COMMENTS:  OIL SMELL IN CABIN, WORSE ONCE AIRBORNE.  OIL LEAKAGE DUE TO BEARING FAILURE.  SMELL WAS NEVER TRACED TO A PARTICULAR COMPONENT, HOWEVER THE NR 1 ENG WAS REPLACED DUE TO AN OIL LEAK AROUND 4TH STAGE IGV AT 6 O'CLOCK POS AND LEASE RETURN AGREEMENTS.  THE APU WAS ALSO REPLACED SHORTLY AFTERWARD WITH OIL LEAK ISSUES.  AFTER ALL MTC, THE A/C HAS REMAINED CLEAR OF GRIPES FOR OIL SMELL IN CABIN.
