## Discrepancy

WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED OIL COMING FROM THE ENGINE VENT.  THE ENGINE WAS SECURED AND THE PROPELLER FEATHERED.  AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING WAS MADE.  INSPECTION FOUND CYLINDER NR 5 WITH NO COMPRESSION.  CYLINDER TO BE REMOVED AND FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING DONE IF THE CYLINDER IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
