Large visible spot on xt20 sensor

After a number of successful years with the x t20 I notice big dark spot on images. Inspected lens and sensor for what the cause is. It is a large visible spot on the sensor. It looks as if it could to hardened oil but not sure. I have ordered a cleaning kit but a few weeks away. 

What is the likely source of this stuff?  It is not dust so I am assuming oil. I have not changed lenses outside my office, but I recently purchased several used fuji lenses. I tried them all in my office and took each one out and tried it outside. Everything went well until today. I noticed the dark spot on the images. I did not need to stop down to see the dark spot on the images. The spot on the sensor is quite large and easy to see and when viewed with a loop the spot appears translucent on the perimeter and nearly opaque nearer the center. It looks dry or baked on. 

Anyone have an ideas what I'm dealing with. (This will be my first attempt at sensor cleaning, no good local repair shops-this is boonies.)

My problem was finally resolved. Don't change lenses if you have a sinus infection. I did a sensor cleaning with swabs etc. etc. and everything came out ok.

Hi Bill, thank you for your fast answer. I guess it's just another collateral damage of my bad allergies! I will look into cleaning the sensor. Thanks much happy new year,

      X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!
