Green metal on drain plug

blkscls1z · 12-02-2012, 07:28 PM

Changed the oil in the TBSS today and found this green metal on drain plug. Any ideas what it could be from?

Pickup tube o ring? I know that's not metal but it is same color

It's definitely magnetic though & there has been no change in oil pressure.

Got me stumped......what kind of oil filter do you use? I don't know of anything green inside your motor that's metal....

Sometimes the screen in the filter is green.

I'd guess Oil filter. Cut the one you removed open and take a look.

What band filters you use?

Ac delco

Before going thru all that trouble of trouble shooting, I'll make an offer of 5k for the TB with the unknown future.

Looks like an intake gasket. But being metallic. Could It be corroded metal?

Nothing in the oil filter. Carl, it seems like it is corroded metal with how flaky it is, but the green color has me stumped.

Green means go. So thats a good sign.
