## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE GROUND, FLIGHT CREW NOTED A HYDRAULIC LEAK IN THE NOSE WHEEL AREA.  MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING MANIFOLD PRESSURE LINE SWIVEL JOINT WAS LOOSE AND LEAKING. THE SWIVEL JOINT WAS RESECURED AND THE O-RING WAS REPLACED. A FUNCTION CHECK WAS CARRIED OUT AND THE ACFT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RETURNED TO SERVICE.
