If your source was a tape such as DigiBeta, HDCAMSR etc then it is likely the issue was introduced during tape capture. This could be due to either tape damage at that point or dust/debris being present on the tape or within the tape deck itself. In this scenario, the issue may appear slightly differently each time the tape is checked at that point, and on occasion may even be concealed entirely. Verify the tape is free of damage, dust and debris and the tape deck heads are clean. Re-capture.
If the issue is printed on the tape the issue was likely introduced during tape dubbing. Seek an alternate tape source free of the printed error.
