## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE ON NR 2 ENGINE DURING CLIMB OUT AND SHUT ENGINE DOWN.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO AIRPORT WITH OUT INCIDENT.  UPON INSPECTION OF RIGHT ENGINE IT WAS NOTED THAT THE OIL FILTER MOUNTING PLATE GASKET WAS FOUND PROTRUDING OUT FROM ITS INTENDED SEALING SURFACE ALLOWING LOSS OF OIL QUANTITY AND PRESSURE.  FAILED PARTS WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED AND OIL QUANTITY SERVICED.  AIRCRAFT WAS GROUND RUN, AND TEST FLOWN PRIOR TO RETURNING TO SERVICE.
