Well, its a yellow car with a black engine bay, meaning that the enigne bay was probably painted black... To cover up rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Chances are that the rust went through and some previous owwner painted over it. Thats a very common place for rust as the battery acid mixes with water and rusts away the wall and the hole at the bottom. I had rust in my car, same places, almost exactly the same shape, etc. I would strip that paint off and see what is really going on. -Tony |

thanks tony the battery solution fits the problem, the car was painted about seven years ago, so its a cut and weld solution
thanks |
