Rust color spray

I've found something odd. I dont know much about what the cause could be so I'm just going to post pictures. Hopefully someone can atleast get me started in the right direction. It appears to be spraying outward and upward by looking around on from the spray on the hood in the first picture.

Remove the supperior nut of the front/left shock, you would see a rubber, remove it too. and you need to do a weld repair in the rubber metal support, they cracks the factory welds, and the spray you see is water/dust/sand/rust comming in by the tire/road.
