[OM] Light Seal question

I purchased a OM-2n recently and to be honest, it takes crappy pictures 
that are washed out appear to be mildly out of focus.  My Canon auto-focus 
"instamatic" takes better photographs!

I'm using Zuiko lenses only, and they are all clear.  I have ruled out 
metering problem by cross-checking the camera against my Gossen meter.  I'm 
also confident it's not processing problems- I always use the same 
processer, and the quality problems have consistently shown up over 
multiple rolls of film from this camera.  By process of elimination I'm now 
wondering if this could be the symptoms of some light leakage.

How do you tell if your light seals are shot?  I understand that the 
original material used by Oly for their seals is no longer available, so 
what is the best alternative, and where is it available?
