## Discrepancy

(CAN)  WHILE IN CRUISE, THE LT ENGINE TORQUE INDICATION BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE AND THE OIL PRESSURE BEGAN TO DROP.  THE CREW DECIDED TO CONDUCT A PRECAUTIONARY ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND DIVERTED THE ACFT.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  A SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE FOUND THAT THE OIL ADAPTOR ON THE REDUCTION GEAR BOX HAD FAILED.
