If the spot is on the surface of an outer element it probably isn't
mold. You may want to try sterner measures.
Get some Kodak lens
NO!
Get either ROR lens cleaning fluid (available at Looking Glass) and a very
soft cleaning cloth, follow directions carefully. Another good (and
perhaps even better) cleaning fluid can be found here:

Ah the young. Between the introduction of the OM system and the Pen-F
cameras Olympus fielded the
FTL, which to my eye looks/looked like they bought the bodies from
Mamya, they used M42 lenses with
a proprietary open-aperture mechanism much like that from Mamya.

Olympus made one M42 camera and a few lenses to fit (including a 135
mm) . It was the FTL produced in 1970 just before the OM series.
Take a look at the following site and scroll down to 1970.
