Narrative:
During flap retraction from 5 degrees to 2 degrees the amber leading edge flap light did not extinguish. We then recycled the flaps and received our normal indication in the flap 2 degree position. Flap retraction from that point was normal as was the remainder of the flight. Upon arrival in dca, maintenance informed us of some damage to the fueling door and leading edge slats. The apparent cause was that the fueling door had come open. During my preflight, I had noted that the required fuel was on board, and that the fueling door was closed.
