## Discrepancy

(CAN) NO RESPONSE NOTICE FROM THE RT OTBD SPOILER DURING PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS BY THE CREW. THE ACFT RETURNED TO GATE AND A HYDR LEAK WAS OBSERVED AT THE RT WING.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE RT OTBD SPOILER ACTUATOR CASING HAD RUPTURED AND CAUSED THE LEAK. THE ACTUATOR WILL BE REPLACED. LAST REPAIR ORDER SHOWS IT WAS REPAIRED DUE TO A FRACTURED CASE.
