This is not unavoidable.
1. Oleos in good condition do NOT eject fluid. It is instead forced
up into the piston. That which comes out after servicing (and/or after
the first few subsequent landings) should be wiped off rather than
allowed to sit and eat.
2. DOT 5 Silicone fluid is not aggressive like this.
3. Sand or bead blast the exterior followed by properly mixed and
applied Stitts epoxy primer. Finish with a hign quality industrial
epoxy paimt like Deft. Bulletproof. You can see identical results on
any steel ship in salt water that is not properly prepared before
painting and/or otherwise neglected. One doesn't take the ship out of
salt water, for that is what it is built for ;<)
