Engine/tranny sludge

[Wally]

Last question today, sorry

so i moved my engine/tranny in the truck. someone rolled it over on the side and oil started coming out. After i got back home and unloaded the engine again i took a photo and here it is

how concerned should i be? suggestions?

About the bed of the truck?

Looks like old oil and sand/gravel/nut shells.  Old oil is generally dark like that.

thanks. you know.... i loaded the engine and dont remember seeing any sand gravel whatever in the bed. that is why i was freaking out a little. i thought maybe all that came outa the engine. still not 100% sure

heck. i bet the garage threw some kitty litter or something on it to try and clean it up....LOL.

I think it would have all been black if it came from inside.  Could also be stuff that was on top of the heat shield under the intake manifold, if it's still on or some other ledge area that could collect crud.

Some purple power will clean that right up. Don't use it on aluminum tho. (theres a ford f150 joke there if you look hard enough)
