Fuel leak symptoms

One of the symptoms that was missed by the Canadian A330 crew that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic was an abnormally low oil temperature of the engine on the side with a leak. The reason: an unnaturally higher than normal fuel flow through the oil cooler. A good lesson to be learned: unless you know why something is indicating differently to normal then it is probably telling you something.
