35 year old copper pipe in contact with steel mc cable
Just noticed this under my tub in the access panel. I removed a steel mc cable that the previous owner had run over the pipe with. Is this corrison or just what a 35 year old pipe should look like. I rubbed a paper towel on it and it's dry. Will this leak eventually or is it ok?

And what are we looking at with the picture, I see a piece of copper pipe?

Steel MC cable is metal clad..... like BX electrical cable.
If there was a problem where the wire was touching the pipe... there would be a visible hole.
Some corrosion on a pipe that old is normal.
