Weird stains on rangefinder window

I just bought a used M5 and discovered a large translucent stain in the upper end of the rangefinder window. I tried to gently wash the outside of the glass, but it seems to be on the inside. Does anyone know what it is and potentially how bad or harmless it is for the rangefinder window? 

Should I try to return the camera or can I possibly fix it myself?

If the VF window is in this state one can but wonder about the condition of the rest of the camera. It looks like moisture, which is bad news. 

Yeah, I think it might be wise to return it if he agrees. I couldn't see the stains before I held the camera at a certain angle under a spotlight.
