Pulled my oil pan to check the status of my oil pickup n found little metal bits at the bottom of my pan. Any idea where it came from. Turbo propeller chunks maybe?

Scary, looks kind of like that. Get a magnetic drain plug and if youre baller enough a magnetic oil filter such as the power enterprise one.

I'm pretty sure copper isn't magnetic. I have seen that a few times in my 40 and every time i pull the engine to see what it is it's usually a bearing.

I also seem to have worse luck then the average person so you might get lucky.
