Spent 45 minutes testing a light leak I could have fixed in 5

I was developing some rolls from a trip to the coast and kept seeing these faint streaks across the top of every frame. I spent three evenings checking tank seals, changing chemicals, even swapping reels. It turned out the foam light seal on my camera body was a millimeter off. Has anyone else chased a problem like that for hours when it was something simple right in front of them?

Heard a repair guy say most leaks are seal related, not chemical, @the_john.

Yeah I wasted a whole weekend on a light leak that was just a loose screw.
