Help, what is this in the viewfinder?

I need help identifying what possible could be in the viewfinder/mirror area?

I've included some shots, but it may not be the best ( cell phone ).

Looks 3d like a blob of glue or something.. if anyone knows anything that I don't know please chime in.

I almost think it looks like glass! But from where?

I just looked at mine, and I have something similar. It doesn't look as big as yours, but it is in about the same place. It looks to me like a slight glue or paint separation on the bottom side of the viewfinder prism. Unless it gets bigger or moves around, I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt it has any affect on viewing as that spot is well masked when I put my eye up to the finder.
