Is it perhaps, that someone has added radweld (or similar) to the coolant in an attempt to stop a leak? That can look like copper particles. If so you can drive it, but you need to find the leak.

Hi and welcome to the forum

I would be worried that if it was copper slip that it would block a water way.
As David suggests it could be radweld which is not the best in the K series but not as bad as copper slip.
