Rotor Scraping Sound?

Has anyone else experienced this?

A couple of times just before shutting the car off I have heard a sound like the rotors are scraping the side of the housing. It is kind of a metal on metal sound! It happened last night. This morning when I started the car up I could still hear it a little but after a few minutes it was gone again - as usual.

The only explanation I can think of is that it is some deposits that accumulate on the engine which are then flushed out. Any ideas?

This is obvious, but did you check your oil?

Not last night but this has happened a few times and I check my oil weekly - when I wash the car
