Default Blue color contaminate in oil filiter?

These blue things appeared in my oil filter after my mechanic changed the spark plugs and tubes. Never seen this before any ideas anyone? Thanks

Can't see the movie but sure it's blue and not green? I believe a lot of Orings have a green color in the motor, including the spark plugs and oil tubes and the variocam solenoid seals

It looks like one of the smaller tube O-rings escaped and went through the oil pump. The larger one is usually red. The smaller one black, blue, green, mostly black.
