## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, PILOT NOTICED OIL COMING OUT OF ENGINE COWLING.  AFTER LANDING, FOUND OIL DIPSTICK COUPLING AND CLAMP BECAME LOOSE FROM ENGINE CASE NIPPLE.  REINSTALLED COUPLING AND SECURED CLAMP.

RECOMMEND AT EACH PRE-FLIGHT WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL, TO ALSO INCLUDE VISUAL INSPECTION OF DIPSTICK HOUSING SECURITY.  AIRCRAFT TOTAL TIME 1,466.7.  REFERENCE:  AIR CARRIER CERTIFICATE NR EW7A379W.
