P-51 Fuel leak????

While taking pictures of P-51 ‘Janie’ at Parham on July 1st, I caught this pic in the middle of a roll, trailing a vapour from the port wing which looks in line with a fuel cap. Is this just fuel draining out of a tank vent during the roll or is the tank cap leaking?

No evidence to idicate a leak has been found on the aircraft, it was a damp day so that may produce vapour trails, some of the marks on the aircraft however come from the exceptionally wet runway that weekend.
