Picture isn't very clear but I am guessing there has been a small water leak causing one of the heating element terminal posts to corrode through.

Orange discoloration is most often caused by rust or other minerals in the water.
Usually, the solution is to have a filter (or more than one) installed in the circuit.
God bless your efforts.
