Okay....When I look through the viewfinder I see a big squiggly mark in the middle of my screen. (It looks like a big piece of lint) I figured it was something on the sensor so I cleaned it then took a few test shots and the pics came out clean at f22. I also cleaned and tried different lenses and cleaned the viewfinder yet the squiggly is still there even though it's not in my pics. Any ideas?

it sounds its like dirt on the viewfinder glass, mirror or prism, so its only on the bit you look through, not on the bit that the photo is taken through.

Exactly. Do I need to have it serviced by a professional?

Most likely, did you check on the screen at the top ouf the shutter chamber and the mirror? If it's not on those, you'll have to send it in.
