## Discrepancy

OIL LEAKING FROM OIL FILTER ADAPTER. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF ENGINES IN THE PAST THAT HAS CAUSED ENGINE FIRES. THIS OIL LEAK WAS FOUND POST FLIGHT AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.  WE INSTALLED A NEW OIL FILTER ADAPTER GASKET IAW MFG SI1543B AND SB543.
