## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, PILOT NOTED NR 2 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE DROPPING AND THE OIL TEMPERATURE RISING.  HE SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AS A RESULT AND PERFORMED A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING.  WHILE INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE, MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE SHAFT OF THE OIL COOLER BLOWER TO HAVE SHEARED NEXT TO THE SPLINE ADAPTER.  THE IMPELLERS APPEAR TO HAVE SEIZED INSIDE THE HOUSING.
