Re: mixed metals
I don't see evidence of a galvanic reaction, but there is a leak. Leak could be caused by wear due to pipe vibration against the clamp.

However, even if there are no signs of a curent reaction, it is possible. All galvanized needs to be removed and replaced with copper/brass/plastic - after the leak is repaired, of course.
