Default Oil Pump Rust?

I have a new TSP LS6 Oil Pump I bought NIB from a member and was curious. There are some small rust dots on areas of the pump. Should I be concerned with this?

Nothing to worry about, it's pretty common.

That's what I thought I did some picture searches and saw it in photos of others. Thanks.
