   I've got this in mine, and I've seen a few images online of rust in this place on a saxo, so it must be quite common! :O

   pretty common place to rust on saxo's as said best to get the rust cut out and new plate welded in then re-paint / underseal to protect it

   Get it plate welded before it spreads & is unweldable which is what happened to mate`s saxo there was nothing left to weld too.
