## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED SEEING FIRE ON RT ENGINE, SHUTDOWN ENGINE, LANDED, AFTER INSPECTION FOUND OIL LEAKING AROUND OIL CONVERTER GASKET.  THE GASKET WAS INSTALLED NEW IAW SB AND AD AND GASKET WAS FOUND TO BE SOFT AND EDGES WERE PRETRUDING OUT, ALSO FOUND A PIECE OF GASKET BLOWED OUT.  POSSIBLY COULD BE SOME GASKETS MARKED WRONG FROM MFG.  (K)
