## Discrepancy

THE #2 ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. DURING THE INVESTIGATION, WHEN THE #2 ENGINE COWLS WERE OPENED, MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED THAT THE LOWER LEFT COMPRESSOR FAIRING WAS MISSING. EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT THE FAIRING ATTACHING INSERTS LOOKED TO BE "PULLED OUT" AS EXPECTED WITH A MECHANICAL FAILURE. A FAILURE TO BE INSTALLED WAS RULED OUT. SECONDARY EVIDENCE WAS CORE OIL TUBE DAMAGE (WITH LEAKING) AND A NICK / GOUGE ON THE FUEL TUBE.
