Might This Be a Light Leak?

This streak is showing up on more than one filter, so it's not on the filters.   I've had the cover/flip-flat wiped down, so it's not coming from there.  

Anyone know how to get rid of this?  Though it seems to be calibrating out, I don't see it on the lights, I'd still like to know if it's a defect in the camera or something else.  It might be on an optical component inside the scope.  Should I try and clean it?

 

Thanks,

Jerry

I have a similar aberration that appears in my flats running roughly in a diagonal from a 1 o’clock to 7 o’clock position and it always calibrates out so I just leave it alone.  I do my best not to disturb my imaging train at all (other than taking the entire system off of my mount for storage) so it stays relatively consistent.

Hmm, maybe.
