When I drained the oil on my R1200R, I found this in the bottom of the drain pan. Looks like some excess sealant that came off. Any ideas?
No, the penny was not in there, just shown for size!
Thanks, Scott

Looks like excess silicone gasket maker material, from inner of the engine of course.

Bet there's a bunch more in the oil filter.

If there is more, it would be on the oil pump(s) intake screen(s).
