Newish to Film - Light Leak?

Wanna get some more experienced opinions before I go further since I loaded another roll before I got these ones back. Thanks!

There are only a few with this effect of the 36, all to a similar degree.

What specifically are you concerned with? Are the negatives affected sequential or random? You say it's only a few, could what you're calling a light leak be flare, or other effects caused by scene lighting?

Ya should've been more specific, the burnt orange color in the corner is the spot I'm worried about. It's on the opposite side the sun should've been hitting the lens from in this shot which is weird.

The other two where this showed up were the same corner.

Light leak was just my first thought here. I'm not sure what it is.

@drewpyykkonenphoto Looking at your image on big screen, there's actually some tint all across the bottom and on the left corner as well. Random leaks, could be due to the camera, film canisters during loading/unloading, cracks in the camera housing, and leaks at the lens to camera mount. What is the camera model and age? The integrity of seals diminishes with age, so leaks are not uncommon. Finding where it is will require some work to eliminate the "What it isn't possibility". Light leaks around the film door, can be checked, by loading the film in a dark room, sealing the seams with black electrical tape, then unloading in a dark room, as can loading/unloading canisters.

The most common leak site in SLRs is the hinge end of the film door. These usually look like a strip of over-exposure running across the frame, long or short side depending on camera orientation. They're also the easiest to fix with a strip of thin craft store sticky back sheet foam.
I'm not seeing that here. The lower right hand corner OOF spot almost looks like something close to the lens.

A light leak would brighten the affected area, not dim it. In all honesty, that looks like a finger shadow from holding the lens and sticking out just enough to be in the frame.

Did you happen to have a strap on the camera? I have accidently had my strap be slightly in frame by accident and looks almost identical to this.

Does your camera have a film window? I noticed some that do have a window to see what film is inside can sometimes leak light, especially if the foam around it has perished.

I concur with those who think there was something (a strap, a finger) in front of the lens. That doesn't look like any light leak I have seen, and I can't imagine why, if light is getting in, it would only be three frames out of 36...
