## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE DOING A LAYOVER INSPECTION A HYDRAULIC LEAK WAS FOUND IN THE LT FLAP AREA. THE LEAK WAS FOUND TO BE COMING FROM THE LT OB ROLL SPOILER ACTUATOR.  UPON REMOVAL OF THE ACTUATOR IT WAS FOUND THAT THE HOUSING HAD CRACKED IN THE AREA SUROUNDING ONE OF THE PLUGS CAUSING THE PLUG TO DISLODGE. THE CRACK EXTENDED AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE ACTUATOR BODY WHERE THE PLUG IS THREADED IN. THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE (TC NR 20070827002)
