Metal splinters in oil... Should I be worried?

Post by murphyman »

Hey guys,

Just topped up the oil and i've noticed some leakage in the rim on the top of engine block. On further inspection there are small (2cm length) metal splinters in the expelled oil.

My guess is this isnt good news?

She runs fine.

Is a '01 1.4 6n2 TDI...

Any ideas?

are they deff from inside the engine cause that would be quite a big leak for them to escape out?
