## Discrepancy

MIDWAY THROUGH FLIGHT,  ON THE EMPTY STAGE LEG,  THE PILOT NOTICED OIL APPEARING IN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. ALL ENGINE INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO DESTINATION,  WHEN THE STAGE FLIGHT GOT CLOSER TO THE AIRPORT, THE PILOT SAW THAT  OIL HAD FILLED THE GAUGE AND WAS ALSO COMING OUT OF THE CO-PILOTS YOKE AND DRIPPING.   DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND WAS GIVIEN DIRECT CLEARANCE TO LAND. ON LANDING THE LOW OIL PRESSURE GAUGE BEGAN FLASHING AND THEN CAME ON SOLID, THE ACFT WAS SHUTDOWN.
