I didn’t look at the picture the first time; looks like the glue they use to hold them together with,,,Mayberry put a bit much on that filter.
If you had a borescope; wouldn’t hurt to look around inside the oil pan or inside any openings to crankcase....hopefully nothing is coming un-glued internally.
Wouldn’t hurt to send an oil sample to “Blackstone-Labs” for verification,,,it will show if you have something chewing inside your engine.
They freely speak with you over the phone about your oil analysis as well.
