## Discrepancy

ON CLIMBOUT,THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED PUFFS AND STREAMS OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM NR 1 ENGINE. THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE BASE AND CONTACTED MX.   INSPECTED AND FOUND THE OIL DRAIN LINE IN THE AFT OF THE NR 1 ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS CRACKED ALLOWING OIL TO BE VENTED THROUGH THE EXHAUST CAUSING WHITE SMOKE.  HE REPLACED THE DRAIN LINE, AND PERFORMED A FLIGHT TEST.  NO OTHER DESCREPANCIES NOTED.
