Rust on oil pan

I noticed these rust spots on the oil pan of my 93 VTEC while changing the oil today. How worried should I be about this? I scrpped at the big one and that's why you see so much rust.

It's not enough to worry about. Just keep an eye on it and when/if it starts seeping oil, replace the pan.

Re: Rust on oil pan (ME)

it doesnt look that bad, if it is a big concern id recommend taking scotchbrite to the rough areas, sanding the rust off, primer the spots, then spray a low glow high temp black spraypaint over it.
