I also have a faint black squiggly line on the left top part of my photos, though I wouldn’t describe it as a slug trail, it really looks like a really tiny piece of hair. But many times now I have looked very closely for long periods of times and tried brushing some and I’m %99.9 sure that there is nothing in there. I’m super frustrated. It’s a Nikon D800 I got from KEH and had to send for a replacement twice for different reason and I thought third time was the charm.

You'll need to look at the bottom left of the sensor (looking in from the lens mount) to find it, and not at the mirror but the actual sensor behind the shutter.
