## Discrepancy

WHILE EN ROUTE FROM HOT TO DFW, THE CAPTAIN NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE ON THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS DROPPING RAPIDLY.  THE FLIGHT CREW THEN SHUTDOWN AND SECURED THAT ENGINE.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN LANDED AT DFW WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  ON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT AN OIL PRESSURE LINE ON THE PROP GOVERNOR HAD CRACKED ALLOWING THE ENGINE OIL SUPPLY TO LEAK OUT.  THE LINE WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
