## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING DI HYDRAULIC FLUID WAS NOTED SEEPING FROM THE LOWER OUTBOARD AREA OF THE CENTRE SECTION. THE LEFT HAND GEAR DOWN LINE WAS FOUND LEAKING FROM A SMALL PIN HOLE WHEN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PSI WAS UP TO NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURE. TO FIND PIN HOLE THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC HAD TO BE CUT AWAY FROM THE LINE.
