Can't tell what you are talking about from your pictures. Just take a picture of the metal shavings if you can. Put them on a piece of white paper maybe?

If it is so little that we can't see it in the pictures then most likely you're fine.

Sorry lower left was a little strong. The shavings are just below the cover.
(Theyre a little dirty). About a nickles worth of shavings that I think came off the housing instead of the gears.
