Qantas confirms they found oil leaks in all other engines as well. All their A380s remain grounded.

I wonder if and when other carriers who opted for the RR engine, will ground their fleets of A380s as well. If it is a construction fault in the design, and maintenance has nothing to do with it, this step must come sooner or later since then all RR engines on all A380s are a risk, no matter the carrier.
