## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED DURING WALKAROUND, FUEL DRAIN ON LT BELLY WOULD NOT STOP DRIPPING.  CLOSER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT FAULT WAS IN DRAIN VALVE BUT THE RESEVOIR ITSELF AND FOUND THAT WELD WAS CRACKED ADJACENT TO MOUNTING TAB TO AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE.  RESEVOIR REMOVED, REPAIRED AND REINSTALLED.  THIS IS THE SECOND REMOVAL OF THIS RESEVOIR.
