## Discrepancy

DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE A FUEL LEAK WAS NOTED AT ACCESS PANEL 622EB. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL EVALUATED THE LEAK AND DETERMINED ITS SOURCE TO BE FROM A RIVET IN STRINGER 10 AT WING STATION Y-2343. AFTER REMOVING THE RIVET AND CLEANING THE AREA STRINGER 10 WAS FOUND CRACKED. THE CRACKED AREA WAS CUT OUT AND THE STRINGER WAS SPLICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH EMBRAER SRM 57-20-03. NDT WAS PERFORMED TO VERIFY NO OTHER CRACKS IN THE AREA AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED BACK TO SERVICE.
