What was found

CAPTAIN REPORTED LT REVERSE VERY HARD TO OPERATE. DURING MAINTENANCE CHECK WAS OBSERVED THAT THE LT HYDRAULIC QUANTITY WAS 9 QUARTERS AND THE LT REVERSE CONTROL VALVE HYDRAULIC LINE HAD A LEAK. THE HYDRAULIC LINE WAS REFASTENED BUT LEAK CONTINUED, SO IT WAS REPLACED IAW MM 20-10-13, HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WAS RECHARGED AND TESTED IAW MM 78-31-04, ALL CORRECT.
