[OM] Testing for light leaks

I have an OM-PC and a Stylus 35-70 zoom that have light leak problems. I think the PC needs new foam despite the fact that it looks OK and the same for the Stylus, I think it needs a new rubber door seal... also despite the fact that it looks OK.

The question is, short of ruining a whole roll of film, is there some means to test whether the leak has been repaired? I don't have any developing tanks anymore but the only thing I've been able to think of is to insert a short strip of high speed B&W into the film gate and then let the camera soak in the sun for many hours. Is there a better way?
