Bank 2 is usually the first to go because it is hotter has the lest effective oil circulation.
The objective should be( in my experience) to avoid catastrophic damage. Do not run the engine other than for brief diagnostics by a competent M96 expert.
BUT FIRST !
1. Ask here for recommendations in your area to an M96 expert.A good start may be a Certified LN IMSB installer ?
2. The pan needs to come off for debris inspection (Search for exactly what to do) Filter needs to be opened up and photographed.
