Orange Liquid / Fluid near front right of my car

I did more searching and found this posting on Tesla's forums: Orange residue below fog lights

The links for the pictures he posted are messed up in the forum view, but they are here:

This is based on the rusting metal bumper reinforcement that mongo and MP3Mike mentioned previously on this thread. The pics that MP3Mike posted were far more extreme than what I am experiencing, however the pics that nickjhowe posted over on the Tesla forums (the flickr pics) look a lot more like what I posted. So I am wondering if Tesla never did actually fix/modify these metal bumper reinforcements after all these years.
thats exactly what I have.....img_3383 shows what I have....thanks....I am going to call and set up appointment
 
I have not picked my car back up yet, but here is what Tesla Service wrote in the Description of Work field on the Invoice:

Concern: Customer states: There is an orange liquid substance leaking from the front bumper,
typically occurs after the vehicle has been sitting outside during rain or washing car.

Found rust coming out of bumper under front fascia. Applied protective coating to the inside of
the bumper, verified proper coating, no further problems found.
Correction: Apply Protective Coating to Inside of Front Bumper
