Opened the engine bay to add washer fluid and… rust?!
Apologies in advance for being the complete engineering novice that I am but can a knowledgeable and informed soul tell me whether this is rust, and whether it should or should not be cause for concern for a car that is less than a month old and done circa. 1,500km?

Lower left side of engine bay, facing the car.

Good Lord just thinking about it is giving me nightmares Rolling with laughter

I saw a clip from Carwow's Mat Watson and he underbody treated his Jimny. Not sure if it's worth (considering?) it or was more of an Ad/PR stunt... thoughts? 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof
