What was found

(CAN) WHILE COMPLETING THE LT ENGINE REMOVAL, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL NOTED A FUEL DRIP COMING OUT OF THE LT WING ROOT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE BLEED AIR LINE CLAMP HAD CHAFED THROUGH THE FUEL CROSSFEED TUBE IN 2 PLACES. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE BLEED AIR LINE IN PLACE HAD BEEN BENT WHICH LED TO THE LINE HANGING DOWN ENOUGH TO CHAFE THROUGH THE FUEL CROSSFEED TUBE.
