Narrative:
I was assigned to perform a service check and other scheduled work. As trained I looked at the engine intakes; tires and brakes upon arrival. I did not see any discrepancies in these areas. After 3 flts; the #3 brake was written up and the aircraft took a delay. I was not notified of any maintenance follow-up items on that evening. I inquired later and was informed that several maintenance follow-up items had been issued on that brake in previous days.
