## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE CLIMBING AT FL21, THE PILOT WAS FORCED TO SHUTDOWN THE LT ENGINE AFTER NOTICING THE OIL PRESSURE HAD SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO.  AT THE SAME TIME A LOUD POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE CABIN STARTED FILLING WITH WHITE SMOKE.  THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED THAT OIL COVERED THE REAR ENGINE NACELLE AND WING T/E, A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL WAS FOUND IN THE ENGINE INTAKE AREA AND ENGINE BLEED VALVE, THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK.
