Peter et al,
I hate to keep beating a dead horse here. BTW I checked out the slot light leak thing you posted, and I did in fact see that there is a light coming through the bottom of the slot.... however..
the fogging is occuring on the opposite side of the film back.
Ok, so you can see the light leak on an actual photo... it's really not that bad on this one, but it demonstrates exactly where all of my fogging appears.... which is the opposite side of the dark slide.

Thank you for the very quick answers.
I must ask, do you think that it is definitely the dark slide leak...? even though my light leak is happening on the opposite side of the dark slide, and it's only on the image area..

I have a 500c (non-user-interchangeable screen) with an old style 12
back (non a-12).
My images (printed) are intermittently showing light leaking in the
left side of the image, most of it near the top left. Which is
telling me that the light is entering somewhere near the right to
bottom-right of the camera. Also notable is that the light leak only
bleeds into the image area and never in the negative borders.
Everything i've read in posts suggest that if the light is leaking
only in the negative "image" area then it might not be the film back,
because if it were the film back, the light would have to hit the
edges of the film.
What i'm thinking is maybe the coupling between the back and the
camera body, or some leak in the body. So far i've done all the
tricks with a dark room and a flashlight and my camera body and I see
no light leaking when the back shutters are closed and the mirror is
up.
I cannot however rule out the possibility of it being the coupling
beween the back and body since that would lend light leaks on
the "image" area.
does anyone have any good suggestions and or generalizations about
where to start looking when an image looks like X?
such as light showing in negative border and image on right side of
image = dark slide light leak
light showing on image as horizontal line none on negative border =
bad body shutter...
anyway... any suggestions or experiences would be great, thank you.

so far initial tests are showing that the light seal kit is doing it's job well. Thank you all for your answers and suggestions. I probably saved myself a ton of money.
Thank you
