Very common, it's an engine bay which sees a lot of moisture.

I would pull out everything you can, sand that down to bare metal and then hit it with some "spray in" truck bedliner. Stop it before it gets any worse. Right now it looks like there is still a lot of solid metal there, but if you leave it, its going to get bad fast from here on in

I have judged cars at ASS for the last few years and it seems to be very common. As previously stated you should attend to this quickly to stop it from spreading.
