There is some reason to believe that slow coolant leaks may cause the plugging of the oil pickup screen. Coolant in the oil will agglomerate into particles that look very similair to those shown in pictures on this site and in a recent Nines article. These particles can feel gritty and be crushed with moderate to heavy pressure. Under a microscope they look like small spherical beads in a matrix. I think a lot of the sludge found is actually a accumulation coolant byproducts.
It would be adviseable to stop driving you car and make sure there is no accumulation of sludge - particles in the pan.
