This sounds to me like a good bet for probable cause.  Anything normally 
serviced in a CLA would be unlikely since the camera was serviced 
relatively recently by Clint.  But if the 2s requires drilling out the 
wind latch assembly perhaps that's not a normal CLA procedure and maybe 
has never been done.
