It appears to be rust. (Most reluctor rings are made of iron/mild steel compounds that are easily magnetized.) It appears there is rust on other steel components inside the distributor housing also.

You should be able to clean up the reluctor ring, shoot it with some WD-40, and be good to go. I would try to find the moisture source and eliminate it too.

Good Luck!

Your PVC system is not working correctly.
