Narrative:
On mar/wed/04, company aircraft had an air return for #2 engine oil pressure, zero oil quantity. On mar/tue/04, I performed an A-2 check on aircraft per the 'a' check paperwork. I removed the engine chip detectors, inspected them, re-installed them, put the safety latch back in place, and leak checked them. I doublechked the safety latch when I wiped the residual oil off of it. I checked it again when I did the leak check. It was latched correctly.
