Narrative:

Aircraft into ZZZ with loss of oil, low oil pressure on the #1 engine. Maintenance reviewed the PIREP and informed me the engine was troubleshootable, it didn't require an engine change. Technician and I had ground service fill the oil tank and a qualified mechanic from the terminal crew motored the #1 engine. Upon motoring #1 engine oil started coming out of the return line to the low pressure switch. Technician replaced the line and the terminal crew again ran the engine and there were no leaks. Aircraft was then returned to service by the terminal crew.
