## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A WALK AROUND, THE CREW NOTICED HYDRAULIC FLUID IN THE RT MAIN GEAR AREA.MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE RETRACT LINE HAD BEEN CUT CLOSE TO THE IDENTIFICATION CLAMP. THE CUT OCCURED NEAR THE CLAMP WHICH MAY INDICATE A CYCLIC FAILURE WITH THE CLAMP BEING THE EDGE APPLYING PRESSURE THROUGH THE WEIGHT ON-WEIGHT OFF MOTION. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED, GEAR CYCLED AND THE AIRCRAFT RELEASED.
