## Discrepancy

INSPECTION FOR AN OIL LEAK FOUND THE T-FITTING THAT FEEDS OIL PRESSURE TO BOTH TURBOS WAS CRACKED.  THE FITTING IS LOCATED JUST AFT OF THE LEFT TURBO.  IF THE LEAK HAD GONE UNNOTICED, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL POSSIBILITY OF AN ENGINE FIRE.  RECOMMEND USING BRASS OR STEEL FITTING NEAR TURBOCHARGERS INSTEAD OF ORIGINAL ALUMINUM ONES CALLED OUT FOR IN RAJAY TURBO CONVERSION.
