## Discrepancy

(CAN)  AFTER SHUTDOWN THE FLIGHT CREW OBSERVED THE LT WHEEL WELL AREA SPLATTERED WITH BRAKE FLUID. CORRESPONDINGLY THE BRAKE RESERVOIR LEVEL WAS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LT FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE WAS LEAKING AT THE UPPER SWAGED FITTING. THE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED, BRAKE RESERVOIR RELENISHED, SYSTEM BLED AND THE A/C WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
