Found a light leak on my Minolta after shooting a wedding in Boston last fall
Turns out the foam seal around the film door was completely shot and I didn't notice until 3 rolls came back with this orange streak. Has anyone else had luck replacing those seals with felt from a craft store?

Oh man, that orange streak thing reminds me of a time I found what looked like a mold bloom inside my old Pentax K1000. It was this weird fuzzy spot on the mirror, and I spent a whole afternoon with q-tips and isopropyl trying to get it clean. Ended up just buying a $7 seal kit from a camera repair site online, felt from a craft store is probably fine for light blocking but I bet it'll be too thick for the door channels. You might have to sand it down a little.
