Guess I had some water in there. I doubt it would rust at all with just gearoil.

You can see a tiny bit on the c-clip and ring gear too.

Oh and notice the 327 on the gear. As AWSOM-O aka Cartman would say, WEAK.

good eyes

Looks like you may want to take everything out and clean the inside out really well and inspect the gears, hopefully you wont have a huge problem, better yet take it to someone that can give you a good opinon on what you should do.
