it's probably just the aluminum corroding a litte bit. Not much you can do about it really unless you just dry scrub it. Won't hurt anything, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Yep, It's oxidation. My alternator and accessory brackets had a good bit when I swapped engines. If you have a few hours, pull her off and clean her up with a wire brush.
