Well from what I read same issue on D7100, almost bought it but don't want to be cleaning my sensor repeatedly (Nope that shouldn't happen on a new camera).
Btw, asked Nikon on this, and the reply was"

Nice.. after buying FE2, D70, D300 and a prospective D7100? Not to mention all the Nikon lenses, flash etc. No known issues? Yep all third party websites with real people having issues are speculative, and the D7100 has no issues whatsoever. Does this give you a warm fuzzy to invest in a camera that people complain out of the box, has sensor issues with dust, and OIL? OIL... wow, that's crazy. That is a basic basic quality control issue. Unacceptable. I don't care how good the camera may be, I don't want an investment that I have to worry about from day 1.
So, I guess if I want an upgrade, its new lenses, new flash and new brand, until Nikon at least admits there is a problem, and works hard at maybe a 'recall' to fix the sensors and something that seems to be causing a lot of aggravation to a large number of people.
