Slight corrosion around seam of Housing?

I just noticed the other day that slight corrosion is starting to appear around the seam of the front housing- (ill get pics up when i borrow my bro's camera)
there may or may not have been slight moisture present aswell.

this a sign of coolant seal failure? if so, can it be replaced on it's own or does it require all new seals?

if you have coolant seal failure you will need to pull the motor to replace it. you will pretty much have to do a full rebuild when tearing the motor apart. lets hope your irons/housings have not been eroded away by the coolant.
