## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ENGINE LEAK INSPECTION, AFTER A FUEL MIXTURE DEFECT WHICH REQUIRED SID97-3F TO BE CARRIED OUT,  A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL WAS NOTICE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OIL SUMP.  WHEN WIPED CLEAN WITH FINGER, LEAK BECAME WORSE.  REMOVAL AND INSPECTION REVEALED A SMALL HOLE NEXT TO THE WELD WHICH HOLDS A LOCKWIRE TAB FOR THE OIL SUMP DRAIN.  SUMP WAS REPLACED AND SENT FOR REPAIR.
