Yesterday i was changing out the oil pan gasket to stop the oil leak and while cleaning it out, i discovered metal shavings in the oil pan. What needs to be replaced asap? Is it shavings from a bearing or a rod? What are the parts i should replace to make it clean again? All the help will be great

Sounds like chernobyl reactor #4 waiting to happen. Just keep dumping oil in it till it throws a rod then ducttape the hole and keep on going |
