## Discrepancy

DURING TAKEOFF ROLL,  A FUEL LEAK WAS REPORTED COMING FROM THE LT WING WHERE THE OTBD FLAP MEETS THE AILERON.  THE ACFT RETURNED, WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND R & R THE OTBD FLAPPER VALVE IN THE LT WING.  LEAK CHECKS PERFORMED SATISFACTORILY, AND THE ACFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
