Stop it by sealing the surface (Paint, Powdercoat or anodizing)

Is this oxidation weakening the metal/parts ? Is this something to be worried/angry about that it is happening at less than a yr old ? I don't think we should have to paint/powdercoat/anodize the engine block and everything metal inside the vehicle..that would cost a **** LOAD OF CASH !

No...It's strictly a cosmetic surface thing. There will be no further deterioriation. You should see how bad Corvettes look under the hood because of the alloy they use on certain parts..
