## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PILOT REPORTED A NOISE (FROM AN UNLOADED HYDRAULIC PUMP) FOLLOWED BY THE ODOR OF HYD FLUID. HYDRAULIC PRESSURE ON SYSTEM NUMBER 2 DROPPED TO ZERO. THE PILOT INITIATED AN UNSCHEDULED LANDINGTO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.   AFTER LANDING A CHAFED HYD LINE FROM THE NUMBER 2 HYDRAULIC PUMP WAS DISCOVERED.  THE LINE WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
