Leakage. Leakage definitions for operator/crew PMCS shall be classified as follows:

Class I

Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.

Class II

Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause drops to drip from item

being checked/inspected.

Class III

Leakage of fluid great enough to cause drops to fall from item being checked/inspected.

CAUTION

Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakages (Class I or

11). Of course you must consider the fluid capacity in the

item/system being checked/inspected. When in doubt, notify

your supervisor.

When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid

levels as required in your PMCS.

Class III leaks should be reported to your supervisor or unit

maintenance.
