901 question

I did an oil change on my friends 914 and the gear oil came out with a decided gold tinge to it. The color would settle so it looks to something is wearing in there (thrust bearing ?). The drain magnet had quite a bit of black sludge stuck to it (ferrous).
There had been a hot shift difficulty issue but with a clutch adjustment (better) and a change to Swepco 201 (much better) it is now shifting well.
Any ideas as to the gold contamination ? Thanks
