From what I've been told by a maintenance worker at TUI: An oil leak from engine #2's rear bearing.
An oil leak that requires removing an engine is a symptom of a far worse problem.
Speculation on my part: may be related to an FAA AD over inspecting certain compressor parts in PW1900G engines and accelerated replacement schedule for others. That would definitely require the engine coming off the aircraft.
AD was published March 27, and operators knew it was coming since January. Enough time to plan/perform the work before the Summer season.

any info on why E295 OO-ETC is 'grounded' for over 2 weeks? AOG presumably?

Engine issues, presumably. I saw it in the vicinity of Hangar 40 a few days ago with the #2 engine missing and the nacelle etc. taped up.
Though I don’t know anything about the exact nature of the issue(-s).
