## Discrepancy

ON DESCENT FLIGHT CREW NOTICED THAT THE LEFT  OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS GETTING INTO THE YELLOW ARCH AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THE OIL PRESSURE ANNUNCIATOR BEGAN TO FLICKER.  PERFORMED PRECAUTIONARY ENGINE SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE AND LANDED AT THE SCHEDULED STOP.   A CERTIFIED REPAIR STATION CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE CORE DUE TO HIGH CASE PRESSURES IN ALL ENGINE ZONES POSSIBLY AS A RESULT OF A FAILED 4 OR 5 CARBINE SEAL.
