## Discrepancy

RMS - FLT DQ1 - EN ROUTE FROM CAI TO RMS, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE MAIN HYDRAULIC QUANTITY SYSTEM.  THE FLIGHT CREW FOLLOWED COMPANY PROCEDURE AND CONTINUED TO RMS FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT LOCATING A LEAK AT THE RIGHT AILERON SWIVEL GLAND.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE O-RING AT THE SWIVEL GLAND AND PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION CHECK.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
