Quoting ABC website:

"Qantas will not return its A380 fleet to service until confident the issues have been identified and resolved," Mr Joyce said.

He said oil leaks had been discovered in three engines on two different aircraft.

"The oil leaks were beyond normal tolerances," he said.

Unquote.

So three engines (maybe four?) had oil leaks "beyond normal tolerances".

Interesting choice of words. This may open up a can of worms on the adequacy of inspections prior to the QF32 incident and fleet grounding.
