## Discrepancy

INVESTIGATION FOR SENSOR LEAK FOUND SCREW THAT RETAINS SKEW RUDDER BROKE AT HEAD.  ALLOWED SKEW RUDDER TO BACK OUT ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK.  CAUSE OF HEAD BREAKAGE UNDER INVESTIGATION.  BEING REPORTED TO AFFECTED ENGINE MANUFACTURERS.  THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN EIGHT MONTHS.  LEAKAGE IS MINIMAL AND SHOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A FIRE HAZARD.
