John,
>From your description it looks very much the same as what I experienced with
my OM-4 (10 years old at the time) years ago. The light streaks appeared at
random, always had the same size (1-2 mm), ran across the frame and sprocket
holes, affected 3-5 frames on a 36-roll. Haven't had any problems since
housing was resealed.
