## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A ROUTINE HOT SECTION INSPECTION MAINTENANCE FOUND THE P2.5 BLEED ADAPTER (LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 1 O'CLOCK ON THE GAS GENERATOR CASE) WITH OBVIOUS CRACKS.  THE RETAINING LUGS WERE BOTH CRACKED AND ONE OF THE ADAPTER WELDING JOINTS WAS CRACKED ON A LENGTH OF APPROXIMATELY 1.5 INCHES. THE ENGINE WAS SENT OUT FOR REPAIR AND HAS SINCE BEEN REINSTALLED AND PUT BACK INTO SERVICE.
