Even if it is comtaminated isn't it worth getting at analysed? they could at least tell you about the presence of certain metals right... and you can be 90% sure it's from the z... From the picture if that orange stuff is metal then your readings are going to be off the chart...

really hope there's nothing wrong with your engine, hope it is just a bit of water like the others have metioned...
