## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING DEPARTURE OF THE ACFT PRIOR TO ENGINE START, FUEL WAS NOTICED LEAKING FROM NR 3 ENGINE.  MX REQUESTED NORMAL ENGINE START TO VERIFY FUEL LEAK.  ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN, AND ACFT TOWED BACK TO GATE FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.  THE FUEL HOSE ASSEMBLY WAS R&R WITH A SERVICEABLE ASSEMBLY.  ENGINE GROUND RUN WAS CARRIED OUT AND LEAK CHECKED WITH NO FURTHER LEAKS OBSERVED.  THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
