Bill, that one looks bad. ' might still work, but it looks bad.
Do you ride that bike in the rain?
If no then no need to got that worried about it.
Lube it and dont worry about it if you dont ride that bike in the rain.
That stuff happens when the post is left dry (no grease) and has not been removed in a LONG time and wet.
If you get caught in the rain pull it out next chance you get and dry it.
Also check your BB. Any water that comes in around that post will end up in the BB. Service it regularly if you ride the bike in the rain No rain riding then service it like normal.
