Canon t1i troubleshooting: dark line on image

Hello, first post and a question

I have a t1i, and on my last outing, I noticed a dark line across the top of my images.

It looks something like this

Portrait:

Landscape :

Since it is linear, I'm positive it has to be something in the body and not the lens -- a setting or physical problem. Is it a shadow/the mirror itself?

If i use live view, I don't see the line on the LCD, so I know it is not something with the sensor -- though it still appears if i take an image with live view.

I've not seen this before, and wondered if you have/know a solution.

As a college student, the idea of having to get repair work done is not my favorite.
