So this is random. I was checking coolant and windshield fluid today and discovered that engine bay had very, very fine metal dust on the front of the manifold area / throttle body. Almost like fine glitter or metal dust. Never seen this before. Any thoughts?

No Codes or other issues going on other than a throttle position error I have been chasing that is unrelated.

On that side it may just be debris kicked up from the road by a car you followed.
Try removing it and see if it reappears after a few drives.
The only working bits on the exterior, are obviously, the alternator and belt pulleys.
