Metal bits!

I've noticed recently some metal dust on the engine casing on my 996.
I've tried to capture this in a photo. Hopefully you will recognise where I am indicating.
Anybody any ideas where it could be coming from?

I'd have the belt covers off and see if anything is going on in there. It looks very much like metallic dust.

Full marks to Mark who said clutch.
My local dealer, when they last serviced it, replaced the clutch pack.
Turns out that they used the wrong type of plate as the outer plate and this has been rubbing away the back of my pressure plate. They also neglected to fit a dished plate anywhere in the pack.
