## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB-OUT FROM SLC, THE NR 2 ENGINE OIL QUANTITY INDICATION STARTED DECREASNG AND THEN RAPIDLY ROSE TO FULL.  CONTINUED OBSERVATION NOTED THE OIL PRESSURE STARTING TO FLUCTUATE ACCOMPANIED BY A FLICKERING OIL PRESSURE LIGHT.  THE ENGINE WAS PRECAUTIONARILY SHUT DOWN.  THE FLIGHT RETURNED TO SLC.  GROUND INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE FOUND A RUPTURED OIL PRESSURE LINE WHICH MAINTENANCE REPLACED.  MAINTENANCE ACCOMPLISHED A LEAK CHECK DURING THE GROUND RUN AND RELEASED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.  (M)
