Gents,
I filled the cooling unit oil reservoir several times over the past few days. Approximately 250 ml was used in total. In all cases the reservoir slowly emptied, and a steady dripping leak saw observed coming from an unidentifiable unit below the Cooling Turbine (as labeled and observed via borescope.)
I can confirm that there is no leak in the reservoir or the hose running down to the Turbine unit. The leak is internal to the Cooling Turbine and/or the assembly attached below it.

Oil is coming from unit with 3 holes in center of photo. Appears to be from left hand holes only. (Looking up)
FUEL LEAK
A fuel leak has developed out of the overflow pipe located just aft of the large belly panel I had removed to investigate the oil leak. The fuel appears to be coming from a rectangular unit just below the burner cans.
Rectangular unit that fuel is draining from. (Looking aft)
Any further thoughts?
