## Discrepancy

(CAN)WHILE PERFORMING A  POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION, THE PILOT NOTED GREASE ON THE FAN HOUSING (SCROLL ASSY). INSPECTION SHOWED A TEAR ON BOOT 269A-5473 INSTALLED ON ADAPTER 269A5411.  DRIVESHAFT GREASE HAS LEAKED RADIALLY FROM BOOT.  BOOT STILL CONTAINED SUFFICIENT GREASE TO LUBRICATE DRIVESHAFT.
