## Discrepancy

DEPARTED KBUF HEADING TO KPSM WHEN THE CREW NOTICED THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRESSURE INDICATOR READING LOWER THAN NORMAL SYSTEM PRESSURE. THEY SLOWED THE AIRCRAFT AND LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR, AS THE THREE GREEN DOWN AND LOCKED, THE SYSTEM INDICATOR DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, THE CAPTAIN ELECTED TO USE THE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION TO ENSURE THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  ONLY 50 MILES FROM THE INTENDED AIRPORT (PSM) THEY CONTINUED AND LANDED SAFELY AT KPSM. EMERGENCY BRAKING WAS NOT USED, THERE WAS SUFFICIENT FLUID REMAINING FOR NORMAL BRAKING. THE CAPTAIN WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE COWLING ON THE RT ENGINE AND FOUND THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LINE AT THE ENGINE PUMP WAS LEAKING A THE FITTING SWAGED END.  MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DISPATCHED TO PSM TO WORK THE ISSUE
