Source of water leak...??

I was doing some corrosion control and found this in the drip rail. I think this would explain why I get a good amount of water inside when it rains. Especially with the storms socal got over Christmas.



What can I use to get down inside there to remove rust and what kind of filler can be used that can also be painted?

I had the same issue, used a wire wheel on a 4.5 grinder, very carefully. After grinding I painted with Duplicolor and clear coated. THEN went over with a clear silicone type roof sealent "through the roof" its called, maybe not the best way but looks good, and stoped that danged water.
