Pole Transformer Tank Rust.

Zoomup
I noticed a grey painted pole mounted transformer today. The cooling oil tank and one side of the transformer was very rusty. Just what is the metal thickness of the cases of these transformers? When will it rust through and spill its cooling oil?

    So I suppose that the transformer normally runs quite cool up on its pole. The cooing oil may not be essential if it leaks out and the transformer is lightly loaded. Or is it essential for insulation as well as cooling?
