Yesterday i was changing out the oil pan gasket to stop the oil leak and while cleaning it out, i discovered metal shavings in the oil pan. What needs to be replaced asap? Is it shavings from a bearing or a rod? What are the parts i should replace to make it clean again? All the help will be great

Meh, I wouldn't worry about it. Once it starts making noises, then be concerned. Rebuilding now would be a waste of money and time. Most cars have a magnet in the oil pan that'll keep all the shavings from going around the engine. If that is the case for our cars then those metal shavings could be from when the engine was new. Like I said, until you start having noises or other signs of engine problems just go with it.
