## Discrepancy

THE ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING UNUSUALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION.  THERE WAS NOT AN OBVIOUS LEAK AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH MANUFACTURER, THEY SUGGESTED WE REMOVE AND SEND IN FOR THEM TO REPAIR.  APPARENTLY THEY KNOW OF AN INTERNAL LEAK CAUSING THE HIGH CONSUMPTION.  OIL USAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1.0 QT PER FIVE HOURS
