The light leak could be through the viewfinder, if you left it uncovered. This happens on all SLRs, especially daytime long exposures with filters. Here is a 30-second exposure made with my KX, with the lens cap on, viewfinder pointed at the sun.
In any case, your results didn't suffer much. They look good!

Late June skiing in North Cascades National Park
My favorite camera for bad weather days:
Kodak Retina Ia with Ektar 50mm/3.5 and Plus-X 125
They came out very overexposed, but I was able to get the detail back after scanning (16-bit helps here). It shows some grain, scanner noise, and frame-edge/sprocket-hole flare-shadows... but we like that, no?

From a month ago on Mt Rainier.
Plus-X 125 in KX with Pentax 55mm/1.8 and red filter (the first two) and Vivitar 24mm/2.8 (the other two).
Developed by lab, scanned at home.
One other night shot turned out sharper, but this one is more interesting. I'm kind of amazed that the mountain is blurred while the star trails look more-or-less "correct". The camera must have very gradually and evenly shifted position over the 5-minute exposure, probably as the snow that it was sitting on melted.
