That green stuff looks exactly like my chain tensioners that I replaced when I saw pieces of them in my oil when I purchased the car.
How does the car sound at startup for the first 1-2 seconds? Do you hear the chains before the oil preloads the tensioner? If you hear that sound, then you may have a common problem that's not the end of your M96.
