Default Corrosion
Is this normal or does it denote anything negative?

Default Re: Corrosion
Appears that maybe the sink wasn't used often and maybe the interior seals dried a bit and then when you use the faucet they seep just a hair and this happens over a long period of time, this is what you get. Just look like a small amount of seepage over a long period of time.
