I also have mushy foam around the rear cover.
I did not realise that it can cause damage to the prism under the top cover.
I do not know of a good camera service in the UK to send my camera to.
I had my OM10 serviced at a suposed Olympus Specialist.
I was not very pleased with the work and this is the OM10 which just broke.
Is there a part number for the foam kit for an OM1n?
I will get stuck in and get rid of the mushy stuff myself.

And you probably have the same mushy foam pressing against the pentaprism 
under the top cover. If that foam isn't removed, it will eat through the 
prism paint and coating, and eventually show in the finder as large 
green/black blotches.
