Ultimately it is your choice, but keep in mind the warnings we've shared. If you decide to keep playing games (assuming it's Fortnite as your name suggests), be ready for sudden leaks that could lead to bigger hardware issues and costly replacements. This situation won't improve—it will only worsen gradually or all at once.
The simplest fix would be to take out the liquid cooler, install a factory heatsink or fan, or opt for a more affordable air cooler while you return the liquid cooler for replacement.
Looking at the pictures you shared—please wait until the liquid cooler is removed and replaced before turning on the system. This...
It seems there may be some damage from liquid seeping onto the mounting area. Could you provide additional photos of the block, mount, and the underside where debris could fall? Please confirm whether it's an AIO or a custom liquid loop, and list the components involved.
It seems there may be some confusion or missing details. I'm trying to understand the issue regarding tarnishing or corrosion caused by liquid leakage onto the mounting mechanism. Could you provide more images of the affected area, including the block, mount, and bottom section? Also, clarify whether it's an AIO or a custom liquid loop. Please mention the parts used for reference.

Please clarify whether it's an AIO or a custom liquid loop, and let me know which components were used. Also, consider whether you'd prefer not to handle water near the CPU, GPU, and other sensitive parts.
That is indeed "rust." Considering rust refers to the oxidation of iron, what you observe is the corrosion of the metal in your mounting bracket. It appears the chrome plating has been damaged—chipped, cracked, or dissolved—allowing moisture from the air or possibly liquid seepage from the cooler to cause it.
My advice would be to replace, repair, or request a replacement for the unit right away.

Be careful with your language; these forums are used by all ages.
I’d recommend placing several paper towels under the CPU and avoiding use unless absolutely necessary. Best to uninstall the cooling system and temporarily use the stock cooler instead.
Yes that is "rust." Understanding that rust refers to the oxidation of iron, it means the metal in your mounting bracket has started to corrode. It seems the chrome coating is damaged, possibly due to humidity or liquid leakage from the cooler. My advice is to replace, repair, or send a return for the unit right away.

Oxidized copper. Cause - either leakage or condensation.
It seems like a Cooler Master 240 or 280 AiO cooler with a copper body in green, possibly containing copper sulfate or a liquid inside. There might be a small leak, and the manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty. If applicable, you could return it. They also cover damage from leaks, though the process is unclear. At the very least, remove it, clean it, and test it with 12V DC to check for leaks.
Can I play or am I stuck? You might be able to if you take some precautions. It seems like nothing is leaking onto the GPU at the moment—it looks like just a minor slow leak, possibly due to high humidity. If you really need to play, place paper towels inside. Ideally, remove the device and swap it with your original cooler or use a temporary air cooler. After that, you should return for repair or replace the AIO.
