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

I have noticed shavings when I change my oil, have also noticed my used oil is more reddish in color so it looks more brown and it is kinda alittle sluddgy... if that makes sense any ideas? also by 3000 miles I only drained out about 2 quarts d=-( how long do I have?!?
