## Discrepancy

DURING TRANSIT CHECK, A HYD LEAK WAS DETECTED OF 2 DROPS PER MINUTE IN THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING.  DURING MX REVISION, THE RT NOSE WHEEL STEERING CYLINDER CONNECTOR WAS DETECTED LEAKING WITHIN LIMITS, SO THE STEERING CYLINDER CONNECTOR WAS TIGHTENED & CLEANED IAW AMM 32-51-00, ALL CORRECT.
