## Discrepancy

ON CLIMBOUT, THE NR 3 ENGINE LOST OIL PRESSURE AND QUANTITY.  THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND 10,300 LBS OF FUEL WAS JETTISONED.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO MSP AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LP6 FITTING LIBERATED FROM THE GEARBOX.  THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT.
