## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE AIRCRAFT WAS CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN NORMAL I.E. 1 GALLON EVERY FLIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED AND LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL WERE FOUND ON THE BELLY. IT WAS TROUBLESHOT BY AN AME TO BE A SUPERCHARGER OIL SEAL. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO OUR AMO FOR REPAIR. THERE WERE NO SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS EXCEPT THAT WE NEEDED TO CARRY MORE OIL TO COMPENSATE.
