## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED A GRADUAL POWER LOSS, ACCOMPANIED BY PARTIAL ENGINE STUTTER DURING FLIGHT IN THE RT ENGINE.  THE PILOT LANDED SAFELY AT PLANNED DESTINATION AIRPORT AND BROUGHT THE ACFT IN FOR MX.  UPON INSPECTION, THE ENGINE WAS FOUND TO BE EMPTY OF OIL.  AS THE ENGINE WAS TORN DOWN TO BE R & R, THE TURBO BEARING AND OIL SEAL IN THE TURBOCHARGER WERE FOUND TO HAVE FAILED.  THIS FAILURE ALLOWED ENGINE OIL TO PUMP OUT THROUGH THE TURBO.  THE ENGINE IS BEING R & R.
