## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT THE CREW REPORTED THEY RECEIVED A HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LOW L-R AND HYDRAULIC VOLUME LOW.  THIS LED TO A FLIGHT DIVERSION AND UNSCHEDULED LANDING.  A POST FLIGHT CHECK OF THE AIRCRAFT FOUND HYDRAULIC FLUID GUSHING FROM THE STEERING CENTERING FLEXIBLE HYDRAULIC LINE.  THE MAINTENANCE VENDOR REPLACED THE HYDRAULIC LINE WITH A NEW UNIT AND ALSO REPLACED TWO OTHER HOSES THAT WERE SUSPECTED OF LEAKAGE.  AFTER REPAIRS THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
