## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 4447 THE CREW REPORTED THEY COULD SMELL THE "SWEET" OIL SMELL - IT WAS NOT THE GLYCOL SMELL.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  PERFORMED ETN-EM-72-034 VERIFIED OIL SMELL FROM NR 1 ENGINE AT MAX POWER.  ALSO NOTED ENGINE PRESSURE IN AMBER RANGE (115) DURING MAX POWER.  COMPLIED WITH RR FIM TASK 79-37-00-810-805.  PERFORMED TEST OF NR 1 ENGINE FOR OIL PRESSURE ABOVE NORMAL LIMITS AND FOUND OIL PRESSURE TO BE WITHIN LIMITS AS INDICATED IN FIGURE 201 OF FIM TASK 71-00-00-810-804.  COMPLIED WITH ETN EM 72 034 FOR ENGINE OIL ODOR EVENT AND RAN BOTH ENGINES FOR OVER ONE AND A HALF HOURS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE ENGINE ODOR EVENT.  THE FUNCTIONAL CHECK FLIGHT WAS FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
