Seeking advice
Hi - I am considering getting a car at a dealer's. It's a certified pre-owned 2010 Venza (with 1 owner only). I am concerned about a bit of rust that was visible under the hood near the top of the shock absorber strut (the tower housing that connects to the frame). I have attached the images here.

I realize the previous owner had leased the car and did not worry about rust-proofing, but going by how that looks on the pictures - does that look like something that may be concerning in terms of safety ? I would not think so as this is going to be a dealer certified pre-owned, but still want to get some feedback. If I get Krown or some type of rust proofing before the Winter hits and maintain it going forward, will I be ok ?
