## Discrepancy

APPROX 2 MIN AFTER TAKEOFF FROM PAKN I NOTICED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT AND BEGAN TO HEAD BACK THE AIRPORT.  APPROX 30 SEC AFTER THE FIRST
INDICATION OF SMOKE I HAD APPROXIMATELY A 50% REDUCTION IN POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH.  BEFORE LANDING I WAS AT FULL
POWER AND DESCENDING SLOWLY.  I WAS ABLE TO LAND SAFELY ON 18 AND TAXI BACK TO THE RAMP.  WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE RAMP AND EXITED THE 
AIRCRAFT, THERE WAS A LARGE OIL STREAM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE AND THERE WAS A SMALL TRAIL OF OIL FOLLOWING THE AIRCRAFT.  WE HAD SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT FROM THE OIL LOSS IN THE ENGINE.
