Question metal grains in breather hose and intake hoses!

I've found some metal grains the size of medium sand grains in the breather hose coming off of the air oil separator. I've also found some in the intercooler pipes and the j-boot.

There are not many grains but enough to worry me.
I have a leak from the camshaft cover seal, so some positive pressure may have escaped down the breather hose. I find this hard to believe however, as it is connected on the negaitve pressure side of the turbo.

I'll appreciate any suggestions to where they may come from and/or what I can do to find out.
