Rusty Stains

Question

Has anyone ever had issues with rusty stains on blacktop driveway apparently coming from the motor area after a good rain while parked. It's almost like everytime it rains the stains appear underneath the motor even if I cover the grill to prevent rain from penetrating through the holes. I've tried cleaning and spraying with rustoleum in the engine compartment but it keeps making a mess everytime it rains.

Is there a solution to prevent the rust from dripping? TIA

Park in your neighbor's driveway. :B

I would find the area where it is forming and lay a tarp there. Maybe weigh it down with some pieces of e-bar or bricks, etc so it won't blow awayGuy

"The Works" toilet bowl cleaner purchased at the dollar store will clean rust stains off a concrete driveway. Put it on, use a nylon bristle brush to scrub the stain, hose it off. Done! I can't remember where I learned about this method but it does remove the stains.

Iron out works great on any rust stain

The rust may be cumming from your battery tray.  The product called "Iron Out" works really well but I have only used it on concrete.
