## Discrepancy

DURING DESCENT, OIL MIST WAS NOTED IN THE CABIN FOLLOWED BY A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATION.  THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN BY THE CREW.  TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED LOW OIL LEVEL IN THE TANK, AND SIGNS OF EXTERNAL OIL LEAKAGE.  THE ENGINE IS TO BE REMOVED FOR INVESTIGATION.  P&WC WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED. (TC NR 20080402005)
