Unhappy Strange...oil pellets??

Hey guys,

So a couple weeks ago I noticed a very small puddle of oil on the floor of my garage under the engine. A few days later, I get the notice that the oil level is at the minimum and to add some oil. I told my SA about this today while bringing my car in to get my MPPK done, but he said the tech couldn't find anything wrong. I doubt they even popped the hood though. I'm at about 12k miles now, last oil change was at 10k. My SA said its normal for the turbos to "consume" some oil.

So anyway I popped the hood to add a quart of oil, and I noticed these really strange pellets near the oil filter. If i didn't know any better, I would've thought they were rat droppings! I'm guessing some oil came out and formed into these oil pellets, but this doesn't seem normal to me. I took the pellets out to get a better picture. Anybody have any ideas?
