| Summary of Issue | In the Enhanced Inspection process and standards it seems that inspection of the drive axle assemblies for axle oil leaks, and cooling system inspections for coolant leaks is missing. The pass/fail criteria is also missing from the standard for these items as well. |
| Justification or Need | Due to the operational allowances associated with the Enhanced Inspection, it seems logical that these additional inspection points and the related standards would be beneficial, even needed, to ensure the bypass considerations proposed with it. These are vital fluids that, when depleted, would cause and out of service or even breakdown condition. |
| Request for Action | Incorporating the above mentioned inspection points and a related pass/fail standard of a proposed level 2 leak failure for both would add depth to the inspection content and integrity. |
