[OM] OM-10 drains batteries fast

Hi OM-10 owners,

My OM-10 seems to be draining batteries really fast.  After a few clicks on my
cam, I checked the batteries and they were quite hot.  Later I left the
batteries inside but turned of the cam and when I tried the camera after a
while, the batteries seem to be dead.  Looking at the batteries, they all seem
to have swollen a bit.  Is this a common problem for OM-10s? Any recommendation
on how to fix this, or are there any info sources you can point me to?

thanks,
-anton
