The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for EC 225 helicopters.
It comes after a directive was issued earlier this month which lifted a suspension on Super Pumas in the North Sea following a helicopter crash in April this year.
In the latest note from the aviation body, it warns of occurrences of oil leaks during engine starting, originatING from the main gearbox (MGB) of helicopters.
