## Discrepancy

THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM NR 3 ELEVATOR OFF CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE NR 3 HYDRAULIC QUANTITY BEGAN TO DECREASE WHILE EN ROUTE FROM FRA TO EWR.  SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE NR 3 LEFT HYDRAULIC PUMP PRESSURE LOW LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  ALL APPROPRIATE CHECKLISTS WERE ACCOMPLISHED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO LGW WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE NR 3 HORIZONTAL STABILIZER TRIM MOTOR LEAKING. THE STABILIZER TRIM MOTOR WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  THE NR 3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WAS SERVICED.  LEAK AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
