## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER FUSELAGE STRINGER REPAIR, A LEAK CHECK OF THE PITOT STATIC SYSTEM WAS CARRIED OUT AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE LEAK RATE.  A FURTHER CHECK REVEALED THAT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO PIN HOLES IN EACH AFT STATIC LINE.  THE PIN HOLES WERE ATTRIBUTED TO CORROSION CAUSED BY WATER FROM A LEAKING WINDOW SEAL.
