Silicon found in the oil of a Yanmar diesel question

I know it’s the totally wrong forum, however you guys & gals out there have a valuable wealth of knowledge. The motor is a 2008 Yanmar 315 diesel with 66 hours on it…so it has not been used much at all. The surveyor found silicon in the oil when he did his oil analysis…what can it be? I was thinking the fuel lines may be deteriorating? The boat is down in FL so I have to take someone else’s word.

Thanks,
Richard
