Quite right! Silly of me! The leak detector is fine. I put one in my Ikelite dSLR housing. I'm not sure there is room in the PT-EP06 but if there is it would be great.

Guess I will order leak detector for both housings...my wife has one two, but her has never leaked 
And, I'm the one who takes care of both housings!

The leak detector works just fine in the PEN housings.
All the non-integrated/separate electronic vacuum leak detectors I know of also include a water leak detector. Check to be sure. The integrated valve and detector unit don’t.

By the way, did the lens survive unscathed?

yes,the lens survived. It was the 60mm.... And also the memory card.

I guess you are talking about a PT-EP06 Olympus housing?
I have been using this housing for a couple of years and never had a leak (let's touch wood). I inspect, clean and re-lube the o ring twice a month at least depending on the circumstances and how often I dive. When I change the port I make sure that I install it properly. So far this housing is the best one that I have ever had.

yes, it's the Ep-06. And since my wife has no problems(I'm the one who inspect both housings before the dive), I wondered what went wrong....I'm now waiting for 2 leak alarms to arrive from Australia And, Jeff, who makes these, have found a lot of faulty housings from Canon, and lately Olympus. Seems there are some faulty o-ring grooves on some of these housings......
