    A pic would be helpful but minor localized flaking at the mounting bolt slots or synch adapter bolt I would think is OK.

      Leaks

      The important thing is whether or not they leak. If you can look at them and you're satisfied that what you're seeing is not causing a leak, I'd suggest you keep them on there. Keep your eye on them to see if they deteriorate to the point where they're not doing their job. If so, you can always replace them. Too bad they're kind of "spendy" for your bike.
