Hi Everyone,
Really need some advice and help here, some time ago I noticed a strange dark line in most of my pictures whenever i used my 18mm-135mm, at first i thought this can be easily removed for post processing, but lately the strange lines added more, now looked like 2 big worms in the top left. When i used another lens this strange line is not even exist on any of the pictures, now it makes me really sure this must be the lens not the camera, I sent it to the service center and after they checked they said nothing strange with the lens, and they afraid its the body instead. The problem here are I will travel soon in 8 days, and sending the lens and body to check took more than 10 days. I am very sure its the lens, but they kept saying they didn't see the strange line when they tried :S
Here i attach the picture
With 18-135mm ( noticed the top left )

Any idea what this might be?

I tried to clean both of the lens and body before, but this lines persist in pictures, sending the body for service center would be too late now since need this for travelling, so i will manually clean this with the rocket blower as everyone suggested and asked them to sent me back the lens again to see my luck, Thank you so much for the opinion and tips, really appreciate it.
Kinda sad in my country pentax is minority, even to check lens i had to sent to capital and takes so many days only to hear from them, i love this camera way too much
