NASA faces yet another possible delay in the launch of STS-6.
A leak in the liquid oxygen heat exchanger found a couple days
ago, originally thought to be in test equipment, is probably
in the replacement engine itself, officials said today.  If
their fears are confirmed, it will mean that another spare
engine will have to be flown in, or one will have to be taken
from the Columbia.  If either approach is taken, it will mean
another couple weeks will slip by before STS-6 launches.
