I remember once taking off in my 737 FLUF and having pax complain of all this gray mist off the left wing starting at rotation and continuing unabated even at 320 kts. After I replyed its just condensation the penny dropped when I was told theres NO complaints about the RIGHT wing!

Yep! The left over-wing tank cap was loose!
