FUEL LEAK AT LEFT AUXILIARY TANK VENT OUTLET NIPPLE DUE TO LOOSE FIT BETWEEN VENT TUBE AND RUBBER NIPPLE.  VENT LINE INSTALLATION NEEDS MODIFICATION TO ALLOW NIPPLE TO BE CLAMPED ONTO METAL TUBE RATHER THAN ON RUBBER HOSE SLIPPED OVER METAL TUBE.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDED PERIODIC PRESSURE TEST OF CELL INSTALLATION AND ADDITIONAL WING STRUCTURE VENTILATION (SECOND OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL ACFT IN THE LAST YEAR).
