## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB, FUEL OBSERVED LEAKING FROM UNDER LT WING.  FUEL WAS TRANSFERRING FROM FUSELAGE TANKS AND WING FUEL GAUGES, INDICATED FULL LEVELS. DURING DESCENT, FUEL LEAKAGE APPEARED TO STOP, APPROX 15 MINUTES AFTER INITIAL DISCOVERY OF LEAK.  INSTALLED NEW PILOT CONTROL VALVE OPS AND LEAKS CHECKED GOOD.
