That's not good.

Yeah, I don't really know what to do about it, other than change the oil regularly at shorter intervals(already do that). And change the filter regularly. I haven't been able to diagnose where the sound is coming from, or where the shavings are from. I thought maybe it was due to the leak, and I had let the oil get to low. The leak is fixed now so we will see what happens.
