Narrative

RECEIVED CALL FROM OPS TO INVESTIGATE HYD LEAK ON RJ ACFT. I ARRIVED AT ACFT AND FOUND HYD FLUID LEAKING ON THE GND FROM THE MAIN WHEEL WELL AREA AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ACFT. I INSPECTED ACFT AND COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AND PROCEEDED TO INFORM MY SUPVR ABOUT THE PROB. THE CAPT OF THE ACFT FAILED TO CONTACT HIS MAINT CTL AND INFORM THEM OF THE PROB. I THEN CALLED ACR MAINT CTL AND TALKED WITH THE CTLR AND HE INFORMED ME TO HAVE THE CAPT CALL HIM AND FOR ME TO INVESTIGATE THE LEAK FURTHER. I PROCEEDED TO THE FLT DECK AND TOLD THE CAPT HE NEEDED TO CALL HIS MAINT CTL. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE DID NOT THINK THE HYD LEAK WAS A MAINT ISSUE; AND WAS GOING TO TAKE THE ACFT. I LEFT THE ACFT AND INFORMED MY SUPVR OF THE ISSUE. AS I WAS TALKING TO MY SUPVR; HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAPT OF THE ACFT WANTED TO TALK TO HIM. ACFT DEPARTED WITHOUT HYD LEAK RESOLVED. ACR FLT CREWS NEED TO FOLLOW PROCS FOR ON-CALL MAINT AND NOT CIRCUMVENT POLICY AND JEOPARDIZE SAFETY TO HAVE ACFT DEPART ON TIME.
