## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE NOSEGEAR AREA DURING WALK AROUND. MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE HYDRAULIC FLEX LINE FOR THE NLG DRAG LINK ACTUATOR "UP" SELECTION WAS LEAKING AT THE AREA OF MAXIMUM FLEX, ADJUCENT TO THE FITTING. THE LINE WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
