## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER TAKEOFF, THE PILOT NOTICED A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING ON ENGINE NR 1.  THE PILOT SHUTDOWN AND SECURED ENGINE AND RETURNED TO ORIGIN AIRPORT WHERE A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING WAS PERFORMED.  8 QUARTS WERE REQUIRED TO RESTORE ENGINE OIL LEVEL, AN INSPECTION REVEALED OIL LEAKS.  THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE ON NOV/01 AFTER ALL LEAKS WERE REPAIRED.
