## Discrepancy

(CAN) FIVE INTAKE TUBES WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED AROUND THE FLANGE BASE. THIS CAUSED NO OBVIOUS PROBLEMS TO THE AIRCRAFT. HOWEVER, AT SCHEDULED INSPECTION THE AMO NOTICED FUEL STAINING AT THE AFFECTED AREA AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT 5 OF THE 9 INTAKE TUBES WERE CRACKED. THE ENGINE HAD ONLY 364.2 HOURS SINCE OVERHAUL AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE JUNE 2002
