Kebocoran bahan bakar atau fuel pada mesin pesawat merupakan salah satu permasalahan kritis dalam pemeliharaan karena dapat mengganggu keselamatan penerbangan dan meningkatkan biaya operasional. Artikel ini menyajikan studi kasus kebocoran fuel berupa stain pada area fuel drains tank ejector mesin kanan (engine 2) pesawat Airbus A330-300 PK-GHC. Studi kasus dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan dan kajian dokumen teknis, yaitu Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) dan Troubleshooting Manual (TSM). Hasil investigasi menunjukkan bahwa penyebab kebocoran berasal dari kerusakan pada input connector dari fuel drains tank ejector. Sesuai prosedur AMM 71-71-00-200-802-A, konektor tersebut harus diganti, dan proses penggantiannya dilakukan dengan acuan TSM task card 71-71-42-000-804-A. Setelah proses penggantian, dilakukan visual check ulang untuk memastikan kebocoran tidak terjadi lagi. Studi kasus ini menegaskan bahwa konektor pada fuel drains tank ejector merupakan komponen kritis yang rentan mengalami kerusakan, sehingga diperlukan inspeksi preventif secara rutin. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan dalam meningkatkan efektivitas pemeliharaan serta mencegah potensi risiko kebocoran serupa pada pesawat berbadan lebar (wide-body).
