## Discrepancy

STRONG ODOR IN THE COCKPIT.  THE ODOR THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY TROUBLESHOT, CAME BACK STRONG DURING CLIMB OUT, CAUSED BURNING EYES, THROAT, LUNGS.  COMPLIED WITH AIR CONDITONING PACKS AND DUCTS, RUNNING APU FOR 1.5 HOURS,  OIL QUANTITY WAS 8.0, AFTER 1.5 HOURS, THE APU OIL QTY WAS 5.5, NO EXTRA ROLLERS FOUND. ODOR IN THE ACFT WAS DUE TO OIL LOSS.
