What was found

DURING TAXI AWAY FROM GATE, FLUID WAS SEEN LEAKING FROM THE NR 1 MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE NR 2 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WENT INTO ISOLATION MODE. BOTH HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS STILL HAD QUANTITIES DISPLAYED. AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO GATE WHERE THE LEFT O/B FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING. REPLACED FLEXIBLE LINE AND WAS CHECKED AS GOOD WITH NO LEAKS. BOTH HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS WERE SERVICED.
