## Discrepancy

DEPARTING ON IFR FLIGHT PLAN, ACFT HAD PARTIAL POWER LOSS AT AROUND 3000’ ON 120 HEADING.  THE ACFT RETURNED & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  UPON TROUBLESHOOTING & INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF THE POWER LOSS, A FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED AT THE FUEL FLOW DIVIDER & A FUEL TRANSFER TUBE AROUND THE 5 & 6 O'CLOCK POSITIONS WHERE THE FUEL NOZZLES GO INTO THE GAS GEN CASE.
