What was found

(SECOND SDR ON SAME PROBLEM, PLEASE REVIEW SDR 20100615008.) BOTH ACFT (C-FXPM & C-FXED) ARE AT THE SAME LOCATION, WHEN THE CHIP PLUG HSG PROBLEM WAS DISCOVER ON ACFT C-FXPM (SDR 20100615008) THE SECOND ACFT WAS INSPECTED ON SITE TO FIND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OUR COMPLETE FLEET HAVING THIS FILTER (9 ACFT) WAS INSPECTED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. 1 OTHER ACFT HAD A SIMILAR CONDITION WHERE THE O-RING WAS IN A VERY BAD CONDITION.
