## Discrepancy

FOUND RT ENGINE OIL FILTER ADAPTER WITH SEAL OOZING OUT.  REMOVED PLATE AND FOUND GASKET MATERIAL AS THOUGH IT WAS BEING RESOLVED BY SOMETHING.  IT WAS SOFT, STICKY DELAMINATION AND SWOLLEN.  COMPARING IT TO A PLATE REMOVED FROM A TBO''D ENGINE WEAR SUGGESTED THE NOTION THAT SOMETHING HAD DISSOLVED IT.  THE TBO''S PART SEAL IS FIRM, UNIFORM AND SHOWS NO SWELLING OR DELAMINATION.  (X)
