Noticed rust build up today on my rear driver side rotor. No other rotors have build up. No visible leaks, pinched lines, etc. Has anyone else experience this issue?

Maybe just that one got water on it. All rotors will rust.[/QUOTE
Just after it rained and yes, all rotors rust after a good rain. Drove it right after and noticed one had rust after the drive. Thinking Piston(s) are the issue but didn't know if this was a common issue or not. What I have noticed prior to this is it seems that after applying the e-brake and releasing that something seemed to stick when putting the vehicle into drive.

No pics at this time but standard stuff here after a good rain and rotors rust and dissipate after a drive. It may be an intermittent issue since I drove again and rust is gone.

From the limited info, I’m guessing it’s normal and just because of the rains.
