Green plastic in my oil.

Just pulled my '00S with ~90K out of storage and noticed uneven power delivery in the 3K rev range, some green particles in the oil filter (which is a first), and it just started to throw a 1341 code.

Ordered a Durametric kit to get a little more info before I tear in, but I'm assuming it's either the solenoid and/or actuator going bad. I'll rule out electrical first also, but the particles in the oil filter can't be a coincidence.

Thanks

Is it this unit? Chain Tensioner 99610505158 - Genuine Porsche - 996-105-051-58 | Pelican Parts

or just this...

It sure would be nice if somebody on this site could post a clear option on the origine of these green bit. Is it the chain tensioner? If so where do the green bits come from? Inside?
