Almost nothing !!!! , the faintest coating of microfine black powder not as thick as a butterfly's wing either. it wiped off with my finger and was gone...the car had not used a drop of oil, has not leaked a drop of anything on my carport......I cut open the oil filter and found nothing at all......I am so relieved and so proud of my little car.

I had the same problem.
cut open the filter and found it had just oil in it
sad but true
