Is this due to COMS contamination? (K-5)

Thanks for all your replies!
Any recommendation for the sensor swab and sensor cleaning fluid?
I can find the Kimwipe and pure alcohol (water free) in lab, is it fine to use them for sensor cleaning?

Dear All,

I am a K-5 user and I got it in 2012 from a user who bought it from Amazon.
Everytime when I take the pictures in national park, I can see a fixed position dot in the sky.
Originally, I thought that it's from the dust on the sensor or lens.
However, after I cleaned the sensor and lens with high purity Ar within chemical lab hood, I still can see it at the same place.
The attached pictures was taken by two different lens. (16-45 and 10-17)
If the dot is due to the dust on lens, it should show differently with different lens.

Then, my friends told me the contamination issue of K-5.
I checked the news and thought it should only happen for the first batch of K-5 produced in 2010. Since the last user got it from Amazon in 2012, I guess my K-5 should be out of this issue.

Could you help me to check my pictures?

If this is real the contamination issue, could I still ask the service from the company?
Does anyone has this experience?

Thanks

Kevin
