Rust on top of engine (06 206)

[daveypeugeot]

Hello,

Looking for some advice. Noticed that there is rust forming on the top of the rocker cover.

It doesn't look too bad at the minute, should I take a wire brush to it and give it a lick of some kind of appropriate paint?

Any advice welcome.

It's a 2006 206 1.1 litre petrol engine. It has been and still is a great little car and really would like to keep it going. Pic attached.

Thanks

Davey

Wouldn't worry too much. They all go rusty. Maybe treat it with some jenolite or kurust. It'll turn it black as it reacts. Try and avoid the rubber gasket. Not sure but it may melt rubber.
