Why do you think it's a light leak?

Obviously, something caused the film to be more exposed right at this point. Thats why the positive is lighter. When the camera was wound, something might have moved and admitted light. if it was an artifact from tongs or another mechanical device, the result probably would have been the opposite: a darker or less exposed/less developed artifact. Winding the film stresses the camera body and might intermittently admit light. Your streak bridges a couple of frames. What's more, it seems to open and diminish. Both are typical of a light leak that is evident when winding film.
  Why would it be only in
that one spot on the entire roll?
It could very well be that more stress was applied during that wind sequence. Or the part of the camera that leaks was directed toward the sun. Yes, it;s al conjecture, but that image dictated the conjecture.Paul

Recently shot a roll of Provia and, yesterday, when
examining the frames, I found this problem:

Any ideas on what it could be, what may have caused it?
