## Discrepancy

APPROXIMATELY FIVE HOURS AFTER TAKEOFF FROM TAPA THE NR 2 ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 20 PSI.  THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND CHECKLIST WAS COMPLIED WITH  THE CREW RETURNED TO TAPA AND LANDED.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE OIL EXITED FROM THE TURBINE AREA.  THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE SATISFACTORY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
