Ok, so I finally pulled the oil sump and it looks really good! Just a couple bits of chain ramp material.

However, when I wiped up some of the oil from inside the sump plate, i noticed a few metallic looking specs which turned out to be magnetic...

And I also noticed that there are cracks inside the sump plate, has anyone else ever seen this? and can I still reuse this cover? No leaks before removal...

So, where do I go from here? Is this amount of metal normal? Should I just put this all back together and check again in a few hundred miles?
