It absolutely does. I found a nice small puddle of water right under the battery and under the battery plate. There were also leaves / etc which if they start decomposing and get in the right areas will cause rust. I already took the blower motor out (to lube it but starting to squeak again so I will just replace it this month) and cleaned out the area. Same with the battery area. Slowly but surely I'm just cleaning out and replacing various bits and pieces. I'm surprised out clean some of the areas are even after 16 years!
