## Discrepancy

DURING LT ENGINE START, A FUEL LEAK WAS DETECTED WITH 52 DROPS PER MINUTE.  MX PERFORMED REVISION DETECTING THE HPTCCV VALVE DRAIN WITH LEAK WITHIN OPERATION LIMITS IAW MM 71-71-00 PAGE 606; SO THE LEFT ENGINE START WAS PERFORMED AGAIN ELIMINATING THE FUEL LEAK IAW MM 71-00-00, TEST 3A, ALL CORRECT. MX REPLACED THE LT ENGINE HPTACC VALVE IAW MM 75-21-01, AND PERFORMED OPS TEST IAW MM 71-00-00, ALL CORRECT.
