## Discrepancy

WITH APU RUNNING AND BLEED AIR IN AUTO THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF OIL.  THERE IS ALSO MULTIPLE DROPS OF OIL ON THE FWD SERVICE COMP FLOOR JUST AHEAD OF THE FLY AWAY KIT BAGS.  REMOVED APU DUE TO INTERNAL OIL LEAK AND INSTALLED A REPAIRED UNIT. IAW MM 49-000 ALL OPS/LEAK CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME.
