If the metal piece fell into the cavity you can easily remove it if you remove the oil pan - which is not an easy task. You may also try to fish it out but, certainly don't leave it in there. It could get jammed in your chain. If the metal part is just stuck against the engine block try to buckle it to get it out. I'm assuming you have not installed a new seal.
