Fixing rust

Rust on subarus can be caused from the zinc coating being warn off by an accident and fix or can be caused just simply from water and gunk remaining in a region. I've started to see some SVXs that have the same trait as my Brat in the rear wheel well. Water gets into the top of the well and gets behind something and begins the rot. Best solution I've found to slow/stop the rust is keep it nicely oiled underneath. Its also convinent for letting those pesky oil leaks slide a little longer.
