Great info guys. I compared it to a starter spring and that definately where it has come from.
I had the engine on a stand and when I levered the sump off it twisted away from me and I didn't see where this bit came from but I heard it hit the concrete floor.

It was covered in black oil and I thought it had come from inside the engine section of the sump pan and couldn't figure it out but after you guys identifyed it I saw that there was some old oil in the bottom of the bell housing section as well so it must have been lying in that.

Thanks for the help. took a load off my mind.
