Thanks.
I guess a better question is do you see anything in the pictures that would be a contributing (and correctable) factor. No, the condensate line didn't appear to be leaking. |

Could have been the piping was sprayed with a gas leak detection solution and was not cleaned off.

Chemical storage (chlorine) nearby?
Old piping used for drip leg and short leg? Wire brush the rust off and paint it. |

That looks like standard galvanized pipe. Anywhere that I have worked that gas has been common, only black iron pipe or copper were allowed. Is that standard galvanized?

I'm going to guess higher humidity than recommended (why?), and/or possible stored corrosive agent, and/or possibly leaking corrosive condensate (past or present) leaking onto the piping. I don't see combustion design provisions in the pics. This could be a contributing/possible culprit.
Let us know what you finally determine, after further inspection by a Prof. HVAC Contr. |

Looks like black pipe and someone didn't clean off the leak detector solution.

not a problem with the gas pipe, but is the condensate line traped?
