Bad Random pixel hits on HVX - any Post Fix?

I have just discovered an awful problem in my HVX .
I am getting random hits that look like flashing white pixels that appear in a smalll circular area in the upper part of the picture. The hits seem to stay within a small circular area and are random but seem to come in bursts every few seconds.

I only see it in playback off my 16G cards, and it does not appear on footage recorded of color bars, so I suspect it is an imaging system problem not a P2 issue. It does not appear on SD tape footage. I have only looked at 720 24PN fotage.

In looking back , the problem seems like it has been steadily getting worse over a period of a few weeks but only just got discovered and is now very bad.

I will call Panasonic tomorrow, but am wondering if anyone has seen this before, and if anyone knows of a Post fix (analagous to a time base corrector) for random pixel hits that can replace them with adjacent pixels.

In the most important footage it is in interviews often on someones shirt or a background that is not moving a great deal. (After flipping adapter footage it ends up in the lower left on a shirt or background)

On closer examination they're not just single pixels but groups of them like little flashes of lightening often clumped in horizontal & vertical groups.
