## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A FERRY FLIGHT WHILE IN CRUISE, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE RT ENGINE CAME ON.  AFTER FOLLOWING THE FLIGHT MANUAL PROCEDURES THE PILOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED EXTERNAL OIL LEAKAGE FROM STARTER/GENERATOR DRIVE SHAFT SEAL AND AC WILD GENERATOR SHAFT SEAL.  BOTH SEALS WERE REPLACED BEFORE THE ACFT RESUMED THE FERRY FLIGHT.
