It sounds as if you have two different problems here. I think the lab is right about light leaks, which would not necessarily show in the same place on every frame. You are correct in your analysis, that a vertical shutter would produce horizontal bands. Jon Goodman has instructions for light seal replacement on the Contax 137MA here:

As to the other problem, that of camera shutdown, I have no advice except to try different batteries, which you may have already done.
