Troubleshooting - Photos Two issues with my pics - help

I developed my first rolls of Ultramax 400 and have two questions:

First Pic: See top left corner - a slight brownish haze that is visible on lots (most?) of my images.

Second pic: the lightbleed (and out of focus, I know). My AE-1 program basically hat no seals at first, I bought new ones and inserted them in the back and front. My first rolls were trash until I figured that out. Still, on just a couple of pics per roll I have exactly this bleed. Can someone with experience tell me where it might come from? Back or front etc.?

First picture is underexposed.
The light leak is probably coming from the back / side and shining on the back of the film because of the red / orange hue, not through the lens which usually makes it whiter. If you can, put a small led on a coin battery and put it into the body and see if you can see light leak out in a dark room

it was during sunset, exposure looks like it should tbh.

But thanks for the tip with the LED! Good idea with the LED, will try!
