The Airbus A380 superjumbo had 258 passengers on board and had to land after engine number four suffered an engine oil defect.
The location of the leak is seen as significant because it appears to fall in a cooler and less dangerous part of the engine than an internal oil leak which led to a fire and engine explosion on a Rolls-powered Qantas A380 exactly one year ago.
So Rolls is still having varying degrees of problems with the oiling system.

No trolling here, it happened.
