Assuming there is no serious corrosion, how is this treated? Does one
make any attempt to remove rust from these sealed tubes or simply
inject boiled linseed oil (etc.), slosh, drain? - Mike

The modern replacement for linseed oil is LPS Hardcoat or LPS-3. I
don't know whether it actually works any better, but it smells about the
same and costs more.

Linseed Oil is extremely susceptible to spontaneous combustion, so
dispose of linseed oil soaked rags properly.
