## Discrepancy

(CAN) IN CRUISE THE NR 2 ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON ACCOMPANIED BY FLUCTUATIONS IN OIL PRESSURE INDICATION. ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED, BUT WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED BELOW 40 PSI THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND THE NR 2 ENGINE OIL QUANTITY LOW DUE TO OIL LEAKS IN THE OIL COOLER. THE OIL COOLER WAS REPLACED. THE OIL WAS REPLENISHED. THE OIL COOLER CHECKED SERVICEABLE AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
