## Discrepancy

FLT 708 FROM MCI TO PHX - DURING CRUISE OPERATION THE CAPTAIN WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE NR 1 ENGINE OIL QUANTITY WAS DECREASING.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED, THE AIRCRAFT DIVERTED TO ABQ WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT A BANJO FITTING ON THE GEARBOX WAS LEAKING.  REMOVED AND REPLACED DAMAGED HELICOIL.  SERVICED OIL SYSTEM AND PERFORMED LEAK CHECK.  NO LEAKS WERE NOTED.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
