i wouldn't be overly concerned about some flints and glints in the filter unless the pan was full of swarf, debris and mechanic's glitter.

i'd say carry on with the operation. slow and steady. at least the weather cooled off for the week!

There was a bit of sludge on the bottom of the pan and some glitter, but I'd say that the guy just didn't clean the pan before reassembly or dust got onto some of the parts. I'm sure with some fresh fluid and a new filter it'll be better. Tomorrow I'm gonna take off the extension housing and take a look at the gasket and where/ why it's leaking so bad.
