If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Dinitrol.
They make many magic fluids, including cavity waxes designed to penetrate rust, displace water and inhibit corrosion.
If you take it to a proper agent, they will determine what you need.
It stinks to high heaven for weeks though when applied to the internal box sections.
Externally, you can use Dinitrol or lanolin based products- basically spray on waterproof grease.
I spent a day Dinitroling my 2000 Jimny before it got too rusty, and it is still running round now (I suppose it could have had extensive welding though- I can vouch for it not needing welding at 19 years old)

Waxoyl is pretty good if applied to good metal. It will help prevent rust. But it isn’t the right thing to put over rust. It is messy to apply.
Dinitrol isn’t hugely different in what it does. But is a lot less messy to apply. It also wants to be applied to good metal really. I’d probably go with Dinitrol these days for easy of application.
