Unusual that enough carbon debris would accumulate at the magnetic chip detector sensing gap to produce an indication. The only source of carbon debris produced in a turboshaft engine would be the carbon element of any shaft face seals. If a carbon shaft face seal is generating the amount of debris described, it likely has serious problems that require immediate replacement. Check for oil leaks around any locations on the engine where a carbon face seal is used.
