My first guess would be thrust bearing, but it's anyone's call. If it were my new motor at 100 runs I'd leak it and if all was well, I'd take it apart and check it just to be safe. At least pull the pan to see if there are any more pieces waiting for you there. It's better that you take it apart now than have it fly apart later on its' own.
