## Discrepancy

(CAN) NUMBER 1 ENGINE OIL SERVICING RECORDS INDICATED AN UNUSUAL TREND SHIFT IN  CONSUMPTION.  THE ENGINE WAS INSPECTED & IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OIL PUMP LOWER TRANSFER TUBE WAS LEAKING.  THE LEAK WAS DUE TO A DAMAGED PACKING.  THE PACKING HAD A NICK & ROLLED SECTION.  THE PART HAD BEEN INSTALLED SINCE NEW.  THE PACKING WAS REPLACED, LEAK TESTED & THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
