Like Steve stated. I would add to use a rust-converting primer (the type that converts surface rust into an invert primer, stopping all future rusting).
As this is only occurring in the left corner, I'd try to determine exactly where the water is coming from (that's causing the damage). I suppose it could be condensation if the unit is over ten years old, but it also possible that a connection slightly loose or worn.
Testimonial: "I will check for possible leak source. Unit 18 years old. :-("
Were you able to solve this? I have the same issue, looks like maybe a fitting is rusty and there is a slight leak?

Frost is due to outside air leaking into unit. Check on back wall to see if hole for ice maker fill tube is still plugged. If not and you have no ice maker cover hole with tape. Also look for water or ice build up in bottom of freezer or ref. sections. May have a plugged drain. Let me know what you find.

hi srhaus,
all you have to do to resolve this issue is to defrost the fridge by leaving it unplugged overnight.
hope this works for you as much as it did foor most users.
