## Discrepancy

THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT PRIOR TO DEPARTURE THEY NOTED FUEL LEAKING FROM AROUND THE RT WING ROOT AREA. TROUBLESHOOTING IDENTIFIED THE FUEL LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE RT FUEL VENT TUBE ELBOW ATTACHMENT ON THE FUSLAGE FUEL CELL.  THE FUEL CELL WAS REMOVE FOR REPAIRS AND THEN REINSTALLED.  COULD NOT LOCATE ANY REPORTS OF THIS LEAK BUT THE TECH THAT COMPLETED REPAIRS STATED THAT THIS LEAK WAS QUITE COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF ACFT.
