## Discrepancy

ON DAILY INSPECTION TECHNICIAN NOTICED FUEL PUMP LEAKING AT ENG MATING.  UPON PUMP REMOVAL DISCOVERED FUEL CONTROL DRIVE BEARING BLUE GREASE LUBRICATION EXCESSIVELY WASHED OUT OF DRIVE.  MM STATES IN 72-00-00 PAGE 7 OVERBOARD FUEL PUMP LEAKAGE MAY BE UP TO 4 DROPS PER MINUTE WITH ENG OPERATING IN IDLE RANGE.  EXCESSIVE FUEL PUMP LEAKAGE MAY BE INDICATED BY PRESENCE OF BLUE GREASE AT FUEL PUMP TO FUEL CONTROL INTERFACE OR SEAL DRAIN.  IF BLUE GREASE STAINS ARE EVIDENT, REPLACE FUEL CONTROL & PUMP ASSEMBLY.
