## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE IN CRUISE, THE NR 1 ENGINE BEGAN LOSING OIL PRESSURE.  THE CREW CONDUCTED A PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN AND CONTINUED ON TO THEIR DESTINATION WHERE IT LANDED SINGLE ENGINE SAFELY.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND A LEAKING GARLOCK SEAL AT THE STARTER GENERATOR DRIVE PAD WHICH WAS REPLACED BEFORE THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
