## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE IN-FLIGHT.  THE FLIGHT WAS TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN.  UPON INVESTIGATION, THE ENGINE OIL PUMP DRIVESHAFT WAS FOUND BROKEN.  WHEN PUMP WAS REMOVED, A PIECE OF GEAR TOOTH FELL FROM PUMP OIL PASSAGE.  GEAR PIECE IS FOREIGN TO THE OIL PUMP.  AT THIS TIME, IT IS NOT KNOWN WHERE THE GEAR TOOTH CAME FROM.
