Rust on Coolant Connection near Air Intake
Some background on my '07 TSX...
85k miles, still runs like a champ. Changed brakes at 75k miles (yes I got that long out of my original brakes ) and all original fluids (coolant/brake/trans), drive belt, etc. I do my own oil changes (Mobil 1 Full Syn, 0W30 twice every year). In other words, I have put very little money in this car since I bought it new in May '07.
This past year I have noticed rust on what looks to be a coolant connector near the air intake (see pics).
Has anybody seen this on their TSX? And should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance!

Lower fittings/hoses are coolant lines to throttle body and upper line is a vacuum line to throttle body.
Rust looks superficial. Suggest wire brush prep and paint to improve appearance, or spray w/ corrosionX or other oil protectant.
good luck
