Hey, i recently got a yukon from my uncle and while checking belts and oil i found this rust.  i am only 18 and don't know to much about the engine itself and what rust is ok.  so do i need to have this looked at or is it not a big deal? Thank you

the rusty item that i see  is actually the exhaust manifold...

its bolted to the side of the cylinder head with a heat shield over it..


that rust is normal on the exhaust manifold unless you live in los angeles.. away from the beach..

things don't rust here usually...  too much smog..
