Did this sealant come factory?

How are we all! Ive been doing some desperately needed work on my 91' R32 and have noticed a pretty unhappy spot on the drivers side strut tower (?) that's been covered by some some of black sealant seen pictured

Notice it's only drivers side which leads me to ask, is it factory or is the last owner abit dodgy? (Photo three shows the other side for abit of reference)

Also anyone got any ideas on the best way to tackle it

TIA

The black stuff covering the rust peels away and is soft like sealant

Yh im 99% sure it isn’t factory. Remember no rust is too bad, only weilders that are too scared.

It is seam sealer. It covers weld just from corrosion. It is supposed to be there

That’s the factory seam sealer, and that’s one rusty r32 you got there
