I'm not sure if this picture had been posted but does anyone see any fire damage to the fuselage ?
Probe of Singapore Air Jetliner Fire Focuses on Oil Cooler - WSJ
The fire was caused by the thinned out and fuel laden oil exiting the engine breather.When the A/C decelerated after landing the mist of fuel caught up with the A/C and caused the rather large fire on the wing surfaces There was no giant leak and that fire could have probably burned out on its own.
Here is a picture of a similar A/C with a breather fire.
