Leaks found on SIA A380 engines

'It is correct that we have had five cases of oil leaks on Trent 900 engines but there was no safety of flight issue on any of those occasions,' a spokesman with the airline said in a statement to AFP.

'The issue that caused the leaks was identified and corrected. They were minor and we never needed to reduce power during flight.' He said the leaks were discovered after a Qantas A380 plane made an emergency landing in Singapore in November last year due to a mid-air engine explosion.
