## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING WALKAROUND, A HYDRAULIC LEAK WAS NOTICED IN THE AREA OF THE NLG. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING MANIFOLD PRESSURE LINE SWIVEL JOINT WAS LOOSE.  THE MANIFOLD HAD BEEN IN PLACE SINCE DELIVERY. THE SWIVEL JOINTS WERE RETORQUED AND LEAK CHECKED.  THE ACFT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
