Mud or Sludge in Filter bleeder

Bought my first Diesel 5k miles ago. 2004 6.0 115k miles on it. changed fuel filters today and NASTY!! the bleeder trap on the secondary fuel filter was full and then some of some sort of mud/sludge. filters almost black..the truck is nice and I doubt it was scrapped or 4 wheeled. seemed to be taken care of but what should I start thinking now that I found 3 or 4 tablespoons of this gunk in it? totally new to this truck but would like to keep it for the long haul. Thank you for your help in advance

Brake Cleaner and spray the crap out of it. Also clean the WIF sensor too.
