## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, FUEL WAS FOUND LEAKING FROM ENGINE DRAIN.  UPON FURTHER REVIEW IT WAS FOUND THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE FUEL PUMP SEAL, WHEN ELECTRICAL FUEL PUMP WAS OPERATED ON THE GROUND THE SAME FUEL LEAK WAS DUPLICATED.  SEAL WAS REPLACED.  ACFT ENGINE AND FUEL PUMP WAS RETURNED BACK TO SERVICE.
