## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM TOL TO LAX, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM QUANTITY.  THE FLIGHT CREW FOLLOWED COMPANY PROCEDURES AND CONTINUED TO LAX FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT LOCATING A RUPTURED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LINE ON THE NUMBER THREE ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMP.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE HYDRAULIC LINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
