Default Weird Rust like stuff 'leaking'

Ok, here's an odd one... Lately when it's been raining, I'm find a trail of a rust colored something on the payment. It appears to be coming from the wheels (or that general area). The 'leakage' is enough to bother me. After taking the one wheel off, I can't visually notice anything out of the ordinary. It does happen on both wheels as well, but just on the front it seems.

I have raybestos brake pads and Drill & Sloted rotors. Could that just simply be brake dust maybe being stored in the slots in the rotor?

Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this? Thanks!!

I'd guess brake dust or rusty rotors
