Rick, I did replace the hinge seal. As far as I can tell the new seal is installed properly.

I exchanged an email with Jon Goodman who sells the seal kit and he suggested that the light leak was likely coming from the front side of the film given that the strip is white and not orange to red or yellow. Given that the strip extends all the way across the negative,, beyond the exposure area, I don't think it could be caused by a leak between the film and the lens.

Thanks for bearing with me as I screw up terminology and struggle through this. I'm new to camera repair (obviously) and appreciate your patience as I come up to speed.
