Yup, when I bought the car six years ago the drain plug was seized in the pan. I had to remove the pan to get the drain plug out. I re-sealed the pan with black RTV sealant. Did I use too much? Probably. I didn't expect it to turn green or white though.... The stuff still stuck inside the pan this time was still black, despite constant contact with the oil in the pan. So, I'm thinking it's something else.
Again, I think I'll worry about it if I start to get a leak, the engine runs rough, or if I find more junk at my next oil change.
