Narrative:
During preflight we noticed a streak in an unusual spot on the underside of the wing. Upon further inspection we noted that the streak was in fact fuel. The location of the fuel leak was concerning to us as it was coming from a riveted area normally painted over and seamless. I am submitting this [report] in case this is something that is of a systemic nature.
