Exclamation Leaking Wing??

So i have this wing on my car,(not the automatic spoiler that comes with the turbo) and the edges are cracking and its leaking, which resulted in rust dripping down my car from the bolts rusting. Does anyone know the best way to seal the cracks and the best way to get the rust out of my paint???? I will post some pics soon.

This is whats going on with the spoiler... The orange stuff is a sealant to keep the water from dripping on my car.

Mine is doing the same. Thanks for the info Evanrude! I need mine repainted anyway, it's cracking and the prior paint (had a friend "paint" it for me) is showing through...so I need to start from scratch!
