## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE FLIGHT CREW WAS PREPARING FOR NEXT FLIGHT, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT NOTICED FUEL DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF NR 2 ENGINE COWL.  UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, FUEL WAS LEAKING OUT OF VENT HOLE OF THE NR 2 LOW FUEL PRESSURE SWITCH.  SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH NEW.  THIS IS THE SECOND SWITCH FOR THIS AIRCRAFT, FIRST ONE WAS ON THE NR 1 ENGINE 270 HOURS AGO.  AS A CAUTIONARY MEASURE, THE NR 3 ENGINE LOW FUEL PRESSURE WILL BE REPLACED WHEN AIRCRAFT RETURNS TO HOME BASE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN INFORMED.
