After the oil pick up screen and the oil pump the oil goes through the oil filter housing. So long as the bypass valve is functioning correctly the oil goes through the filter before it is fed elsewhere.

The most likely place for debris will probably be at the front of the engine.

It is times like this that you wish the OM61X engines had a removable timing chain cover on the front of the engine.
