Default C7 hood rust

While detailing my 2014 Stingray, noticed some discoloration on the inside of the hood on the left edge...tried to wipe it off and then then felt it and looks and feels like rust...

Is this something that the warranty would cover? Planning on taking it in tomorrow to see what they say.

Thanks!

It would have to be metal to rust... regardless, if it's a defect it should be covered under warranty.

Wouldn't be rust from the carbon fiber. Perhaps from one of the bolts?

Can't be from a body panel since they are not metal.

maybe from the transport truck...years ago I parked in an underground garage for a hotel and in the morning I had what it looked like rust on my hood and I noticed there was some sort of metal water pipe above hanging from the garage ceiling and it was dripping down on the hood and most of it had dried making it look like rust.
