## Discrepancy

DURING TRANSIT CHECK, A FUEL LEAK WAS DETECTED IN THE RIGHT ENGINE. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL PERFORMED REVISION, DETECTING FUEL LEAK IN THE TRANSIENT BLEED VALVE DRAIN PORT. THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS MOTORING, AFTER IT WAS STARTED AND ENGINE OPERATIONAL TEST WAS PERFORMED IAW AMM 71-71-00, NO CONFIRMING FUEL LEAK, ALL CORRECT.  AS A PRECAUTIONARY ACTION, THE LEFT VARIABLE STATOR VANE ACTUATOR OF THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS REPLACED IAW AMM 75-31-01 AND ENGINE OPERATIONAL TEST WAS PERFORMED IAW AMM 71-71-00, TESTED CORRECT.
