First pix is just the head of one of the bolts that hold the cradle on the bottom. Second is a Temp Sensor, with part of the housing broken off.

Lucky is advising cleaning Grounds like this. Take it loose, remove top cover, clean all contacts and apply some Dielectric greese to it.

Relax. Read the electrical sticky at the top of the tech section. Salvation lies within.

I've got over 150,000 miles and that area on mine doesn't look anything CLOSE to that.
Maybe you should be looking at that being an Illinois car. Can you say "road salt" or "road chemicals"?
