[OM] OM-1 meter reading low?

To my dismay, my new OM-1 meter appears to read about 1 & 1/3 stops low, 
compared with my 4T. To test, both were set at ISO 400, and pointed at morning 
sky just before sunrise, with same 50/1.8 set to f/8. The 4T read 1/125, 
while the OM-1 read just under 1/60. Is this a simple adjustment? Also, the 
light seals/mirror rest foams are a bit gooey, so I am considering have both 
fixed under the 30 day warranty. 

On a more happy note, I took my new 21 out on the docks at sunrise this 
morning, what fun- can't wait to see the results!
