Sand it down, bit of silver paint and she's mint
some cars drip water from washers or old seals etc onto engine components and rust them out :-(

No disrespect but it looks like your engine bay has been submerged in water at some point as there seems a lot of corrosion on everything !! A really good clean though should sort it out and as others have said sand it down and repaint it silver.
