As shown, odd blocks destroyed my negs. I'm not sure what they are, under-fix or light?But fix bath spent 10min, 19C and frames seem clear. I've come back school so it's impossible to fix it again.



At least, my camera wasn't well-sealed, and it did cause typical light leak which is quite different from those two.

I experienced a leak that looked like that when I was using a camera with a pinhole in the bellows near the lens. So it is likely you have a leak coming from the front.
 
I agree that there is a light leak in the camera.
 
I once found a heavy leak in a camera. Luckily it was still OK and the wife put it into some Scotch Broth

I think that must've been a leek. It must've been a large format camera.
 
Flashlight shining from the film plane will often show if their is even a small hole in the front of the camera. Look at the camera from the outside from all angles.
