or connector, tighten it.
If something is broken or worn out, report it to Field Level Maintenance.

LEAKAGE CLASSIFICATION AND DEFINITION.
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leaks (Class I or II). Consideration
must be given to the fluid capacity in the item/system being checked/inspected.
When in doubt, notify the supervisor. When operating with Class I or II leaks,
continue to check fluid levels as required in the PMCS. Class III leaks should be
repaired using tools available if possible. If not, use “Not Fully Mission Capable If”
column criteria.
NOTE
•
If leakage is detected, further investigation is needed to determine the location and cause
of the leak.
If there is any doubt, contact your supervisor or Field Level Maintenance.
•
Diesel engine slobber is an inherent condition of two-cycle diesel engines when engines
are allowed to idle for prolonged periods of time.
This characteristic may be incorrectly
interpreted as a Class III leak.
Check engine oil level.
If there is any doubt, consult your
supervisor or Field Level Maintenance.
a.
Class I.
Leakage of fluid as indicated by wetness or discoloration not great enough to form drops.
b.
Class II.
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not enough to cause drops that fall from item being
checked/inspected.
c.
Class III.
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked/inspected. Fix
leak using proper tools.
