Rust Repair?

Hey all!! First Post for me, long time lurker!

I'm working on repairing my suspension components and noticed some rusting after I removed my wheel. Should I do something ASAP? Is this an easy fix?

Looks like a fairly normal amount of surface corrosion on the subframe and anti roll bar, given the age of your car. Probably worth having a DIY go at it with some rust remedy and satin black or stone chip even if it's just applies with a brush. Followed by a coat or 2 of waxoyl underbody protection. Thumbs Up

Not something I would be overly worried about There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thank you sir! I just noticed the fluid is noticeable in the pics (pic 4). Could you possible know what it is from the pictures? It is oily to the touch.

tricky to see where that could be coming from there, i would suggest having a poke around in the front left of the engine bay to see if there is any leaks evident from the cam cover gaskets or such like. it is not obvious where it may be coming from but it does look like it has dripped down from above, have a quick check of all the gaiters on the steering arms and driveshafts to see if there are any splits and its coming from there also, but that would be more like grease. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks again. I will admit that I had the car jacked for about 4 days (right wheel hub would not release wheel); I did notice the leak after it was sitting upright for awhile.
