What was found

(CAN) SCREWS ITEM 340 & 370 FOUND LOOSE CAUSING A CONSIDERABLE OIL LEAK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE SCREW THAT WAS LEAKING OIL IS THE FORWARD SCREW ON THE STARBOARD SIDE OF THE GENERATOR. THE TWO SCREWS ON THE PORT SIDE OF THE ENGINE WERE ALSO LOOSE. AS PER CMM THESE SCREWS ARE SECURED WITH LOCTITE. WE INSPECTED THE SCREWS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THREE OF THE FOUR SCREWS DID NOT HAVE LOCTITE ON THEM.
