## Discrepancy

(CAN)WHILE MONITORING AIRCRAFT OIL CONSUMPTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMBINING GEARBOX OIL WAS TRANSFERRING TO #2 ENGINE. THE GEARBOX WAS REMOVED AND THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE ROTATION OF A WORN CARBONSEAL ROTATING IN THE RETAINER (P/N 3023913), WEARING THE RETAINER AND LEAVING OIL TO POSSIBLY TRANSFER TO THE POWER SECTION.
