Default Blue bits in oil

I changed the oil on my 98 TA for winter storage, and for the first time, there were some small pieces of blue chunks in the oil when I drained it. Any idea what that came from?

Default

Might be the sealing material from OEM composite gaskets or might be blue silicone RTV gasket sealer. I never use the RTV stuff. I've found lots of it caught in oil pump pick up screens.
