Default A problem with leeks

Normally I have no problem with leeks, this year is an exception. They
have grown normally, however when I came to use the first, yesterday ,
on cutting them there are rust colour thin "trails" along the leeks.
These persist most of the way through them. Any ideas as to what the
problem might be and how I can avoid it in the future please?

I think some kind of mineral deficiency can cause this too. Maybe due
to the dry weather? (Potassium?)
