Gold colored sludge
Flushed my trans today, (2002 F 250) and found some goldish colored sludge by the magnet. Any ideas as to what it might be from?

My guess is that it is from a bushing.

I am hoping that its not too big of a deal but I doubt I will be that lucky. It was clustered to one side of the magnet and had glued itself to the pan but wiped up fairly easily.
