My 2005 Boxster is pretty close to new (500 miles on it), but it is over a year old. I noticed that when I wash the wheels, some rust shows up on the brake rotors. After driving a bit, it rubs off. I took a closer look at it and it looks like the metal part just behind the rotor has rust on it, which subsequently leaks through the holes in the rotor when wet.

Is this normal or a problem??
