## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT AT 1,000 FT AGL, PILOT NOTICED AN ODOR OF FUEL IN COCKPIT.    COULD SEE A CLEAR LIQUID RUNNING DOWN THE REAR CLAM SHELL DOOR. TURNED BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION  FOUND THE ADJUSTED FUEL VALVE ASSY TO BE THE SOURCE OF LEAK.  PART WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
