This seems like the relevant place to post this (could be wrong): Water plumes from Europa? Apologies if it's already been up. The link to the Science article at the bottom doesn't work for me, does anyone have a working link to the original? Cheers.

I had a vague recollection that Voyager images of possible Europa plumes were published long ago, but most people didn't really accept them.
I managed to find the references, and now they make very interesting reading. Sky & Telescope, Jan. 1983, p. 15: Allan Cook (Harvard-Smithsonian) - in a post-flyby Voyager 1 image looking back at a crescent Europa, a bright patch at the southern cusp and a faint plume 100-150 km high. Not seen in other images. JGR Oct. 1982, Intriligator and Miller: Pioneer 10 may have encountered a plasma cloud emanating from Europa in 1973. IAU Colloquium 77 (Natural Satellites), Brown U. Preprint #A546 (July 1983, p. 22): A. F. Cook (Hertzberg Inst. and Harvard-Smithsonian) plus Paul Helfenstein (then at Brown): six Voyager 2 images taken during approach show a diffuse plume, not seen in similar Ganymede images. Best view is image 0391J2-002. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
