I had a fl**d at my sync cord port on my Ikelite housing. If its of any importance its for a large P&S the Olympus C-8080. Water dripped from behind the box of tricks controlling the ttl. I fortunately spotted it quickly and the camera and ttl controller are undamaged. The housing is 6 years old and shipping costs from South Africa will be high which coupled with repair costs tempts me to attempt my own repair. I'm confidant that I will be able to rebuild the buttons and dials once I have the orings and clips but the sync port has me stumped.
It seams the leak was around the port and not via the sync cord. Trying to undo the nut moves the plug so I stopped immediately before it broke the connection to the ttl controller (ttl still works). So, can a user service this port and if so how? This would presumably include the ttl controller's removal and replacement of specialised orings. The controller seems to be attached to the bulkhead by 2 little screws and maybe is not glued on.
Thanks in advance
