## Discrepancy

OPERATOR REPORTED THEIR RT STRUT WAS FLAT.  VISUALLY INSPECTED STRUT AND NO OBVIOUS LEAKS NOTED.  SERVICED STRUT WITH NITROGEN TO RAISE ACFT FOR JACK INSTALLATION.  NOTICED FINE MIST EMANATING FROM CRACK ON THE AFT SIDE OF THE UPPER TRUNNION.  NOTE: PAINT CHIPPED AWAY AND CRACK VISIBLE TO NAKED EYE.
