Default Rusty Headstock Bearings?

Hi,

My bike (2007 K6) lives outside on my driveway or in the work car park so it tends to get rained on quite a bit - I do have a rain cover which doesn't get used often enough if I'm honest.

There's quite a bit of rust showing now on what I think () are the headstock bearings. The bike was in for a service last month and the guys there told me the bike was fine, just a little rough around the edges.

How concerned should I be with this - do you think it should be sorted straight away, and would the front of the bike need to come off to sort it?
The bike feels fine riding it so I don't think it's having an adverse effect yet, but I wouldn't want to leave it until I do!

Thanks in anticipation of any advice....
