## Discrepancy

(AUS) LH ENGINE FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM FAULTY - INVESTIGATION COULD FIND NO FAULTS WITH THE SYSTEM - A LEAKING GASKET ON THE FLOW PACK MAYHAVE ALLOWED HOT AIR ONTO THE LOWER REAR SENSOR - FOLLOWING  REPLACEMENT OF THE FLOW PACK ON THE NEXT FLIGHT THE FIRE WARNING SYSTEM AGAIN ACTIVATED - FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THE TWO REAR BULKHEAD FIRE SENSORS TO BE FAULTY
