## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON APPROACH, CREW NOTED A DROP IN HYDR PRESSURE FOLLOWED BY THE ILLUMINATION OF THE HYDR WARNING LIGHTS. THE HYDR PRESSURE WENT TO ZERO AND CREW CREW CONSULTED TO APPROPRIATE CHECKED LIST AND COMPLETED A MANUAL EXTENSION OF THE LANDING GEAR USING THE ALTERNATE EXTENSION PROCEDURES. THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. AN INSP BY MAINT DETERMINED THAT HYDR FLUID HAD BEEN LOST DUE TO A LEAK IN A HYDR TUBING IN THE LT GEAR WELL. LINE HAD A CRACK AT THE FLARE AND RESULTED IN THE LEAK. LINE WAS REPLACED WITH NEW, FUNCTION, OPERATION, AND LEAK CHECKS COMPLETED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
