## Discrepancy

ON APPROACH TO YBL, THE PILOT DETECTED BURNING OIL AND SAW SMOKE, THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT AND NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT AND DRIPPING FROM THE COWLS, AFTER THE TECHNICIAN INVESTIGATED THE OIL LEAK HE FOUND A HOLE WHERE A PLUG SHOULD BE IN THE ACCESSORY CASE, AFTER A BRIEF SEARCH FOR THE MISSING PART AND NOT FINDING THE PLUG THE TECH INSTALLED A NEW PLUG (PN AN913-3) AND LOCKWIRED.
