Get the rust off any way you can. Use a metal etching solution (like The Must for Rust, I think HomeDepot has something similar) which will leave a zinc phosphate coating. Top coat with epoxy appliance paint. This should hold it at bay until you get more serious. Don't just spray with primer and leave it. Primer is made to help the top coat stick and is designed to be porous and will allow moisture thru.
Just a note on rust prevention. You should spray all internal seams with a rust proofing product. The best product I've used is lanolin based Eureka Fluid Film. Regular commercial wax based compounds like PennzGuard will dry out in about 3 years. In any case you should re-spray about every 3 years. External surfaces should be paste waxed at least once a year.
