Light Leak on Olympus Stylus

[JADoss23]

Have a light leak on my olympus stylus point and shoot and was curious if to anyone had any idea where it may be coming from or how to resolve it? thanks
It's not consistent but attached an image. It may show up more when flash is used.

Check door seals and also film witness window foam. If it is Stylus Infinity then that's about it.

Olympus recorded several light leak problems with the Stylus, but most of them required disassembly to correct. One that resembles a portion of your illustration is due to a tear in the rubber ring that surrounds the lens. If that is the problem, repair would require removing the covers, then the lens/shutter assembly and replacing the front plate that holds the entire shutter in place, followed by reprogramming of the lens focus. Another source may be a small gap along the lower edge of the AF/Finder assembly and the front cover. Again, repair (IF that's truly the problem) requires removal of the front cover and administering some light proofing.

But the problem may also be due to the clear/shiny plastic frame behind the sliding barrier that surrounds the lens coming loose from the front cover, the clear part behind the sliding barrier that ends just above the flash. If this has happened, it is possible to trace a thin line of contact cement along the top edge of the loose part, between it and the front cover, then wrapping it tightly with a rubber band to hold it in place overnight while the glue sets. YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, of course, with the knowledge that the appearance of the camera will likely be affected! Oh, yes -- remove the battery first!

Another unlikely cause that I mention because it is easy to address would be if the foam around the film window inside the back cover is torn or missing. If so, you will have to cut your own foam and piece together a replacement. But that does not look like your problem to me.
