Narrative:

I am concerned over the corrective action that was listed for this airplane. This airplane had already been written up 2 times for a hydraulic leak in the last 2 weeks. The last time the corrective action was to tighten up a loose fitting in the rear bay and 'ops checked good'. We flew the aircraft for 2 legs and on the post flight; I found it was again leaking out the bottom drain hole of the rear bay. The concern for me was when I was reviewing the mobile manager for this airplane. I did this because the next day we were attached to another tail and I lost the ability to view the elogbook over this. What concerned me was it stated that it was signed off as 'over serviced and no leak found'. I found this somewhat suspect as I have seen this corrective action before only have the same problem again. The other issue is that it is somewhat bothersome that the mechanics who last worked on the airplane weren't qualified enough to service the hydraulic system properly. I mention this because after the [recent] check they did; I found 5 aircraft on ground (aog) discrepancies. I believe there isn't anything earth shattering in serving the hydraulic fluid in this airplane but could be wrong. I would be curious if this indeed was the problem and whether it has occurred again.if indeed the hydraulic system was over serviced; I believe this was done by a third party vendor and they should be instructed on the proper way to service the hydraulic system for the hawker.also; we need some formal mechanism to get feedback on discrepancies for an airplane if we get moved to another airplane and lose access to the elogbook for a given airplane. If every pilot called maintenance to look up their last airplane; the normally poor response time of them answering the phones would be even worse. It would be nice to have read only of the elogbook.

Title: A HS-128-800 Captain reported a hydraulic leak written of as over serviced but the leaking reported again on the aircraft. Due to crews move among aircraft they cannot track the reoccurring maintenance discrepancies.
