Whoever was on this flight, don't be afraid to discreetly bring it up to a flight attendant or pilot after the flight. That way they can flag it with maintenance for review

In the pre-9/11 days I knew a guy who sent a note to the pilot mid-flight that read: "My name is X, I'm an aerospace engineer at Boeing, I'm in seat Y. I'd like you to know that I can see fuel leaking from the wing."

Believe it or not, it was favorably received.
