rust!? I ain't got time for rust!

Yesterday I popped the trunk to inspect and got water droplets on the amp. I wiped it down and thought no big deal.

Today, I saw the ground terminal screw is rusted! wtf!

There was also some condensation on the square part of the terminal but no rust.

Is this a problem? Will I have issues down the road?

I dont think there is a leak at all.

I opened the trunk the day before and some of the water around the trunk lid dropped onto the amp. It was raining earlier. I thought I wiped it down correctly but apparently not. It was at the parking lot at work and I was kind of in a hurry to punch in. More water could have dropped onto the amp when I close the trunk. who knows....

But it is scaring me.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I gotta figure out a way to cover the amp. Maybe some plastic wrap or something.....
