Narrative:

When finished with this aircraft was sent to help a mechanic at another plane. Upon aircraft arrival, I did the walkaround and tire check. Coming out of flight station flight attendant pointed out water dripping from overhead panel, just inside L1 door. Entered in logbook both tire check required and water leak. Completed both, signed them off and aircraft left. Later that day I entered into both log pages and made a mistake. I put the same discrepancy on both log pages. At this time I took the logbook pages to mr X to see what I could do. Told nothing could be done till aircraft is back in ZZZ the next day (oct/thu/04). I told mr X at this point I was off the next 2 days. He said I could correct it then on my monday. On oct/mon/04, asked mr X if he had log page and when aircraft was going to be in. He could not find log page, said mr X would be in later and maybe he had log page. Mr X did not have log page, said he gave it to mr Z to take care of. As of today, oct/wed/04, log page is still not correct and aircraft has not been in so I could correct it.
