Narrative:
Low pressure turbine cooling of manifold and oil lines were disconnected by another mechanic on 03/fri/02. I installed a low pressure turbine manifold and oil line on 03/xx/02 and wet motored on 03/mon/02 and found no leaks. Crew chief log on run-up noted oil leak. Checked engine over and found no evidence of oil or leaks on 03/thu/02. No discrepancy on leaking oil. Checked oil quantity and found to be good. Aircraft was dispatched to air carrier loading area at XA35 03/sat/02. No oil leaks found. Air interrupt on 03/sat/02 at approximately XA50.
