## Discrepancy

UPON RETURN OF FLIGHT, MECHANIC NOTICED SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE BELLY OF ACFT.  UPON INVESTIGATION, FOUND A FITTING (AN912-1D) THAT EXITS THE OIL COOLER WAS CRACKED IN HALF.  THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN RECONFIGURED TO A FLIGHTCRAFT TURBO, TURBO NORMALIZED SYSTEM.  IT IS RECOMMENDED THIS FITTING SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH ONE MANUFACTURED FROM STEEL.
