Is light leak a common problem on the top part of the screen?

It's not a common issue. You should bring to apple store to get the new one. Looking at the screen with the lightleak is really uncomfortable.
We got two iPhone fives, one white 16 and one black 32 and a black one had a noticeable light leak issue on top left corner.
It wasn't noticeable at first but when using Apps that didn't take up the full-screen or dark content movies you did see it for sure.
I called Apple and they sent me a replacement by mail through their express service. The new one that I just got has a perfect screen so it's a keeper. I'm sending them the old one back tomorrow. So at least from my little experience one out of three had this issue.
For what it's worth the replacement I got has a build week number of 44 which is November and the old one that I originally purchased (With light leak issue) was a week 48 which is December build.
