[OM] Bellows leaks

Zuiks,

How do I isolate and repair a light leak in my bellows?

I recently purchased an OM bellows and took it for it's first test drive
this weekend.  Getting the prints back, I'm noticing a dual set of
lighter-colored streaks on all shots made with the bellows -- light leaks.
I shot half the roll with the bellows and half without, and the streaks
appeared only on the bellows shots, so I know they're the culprit.  Dual
parallel lines, fuzzy, and somewhat lighter than the print, running
long-ways across the prints.  Yes, they're on the negs as well, but I can't
see any light coming from within the bellows despite how hard I look.

Help me, Obiwan!

Thanks,

Dave
