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?

Mine have mostly all bolted this year for the first time. I can't
decide whether it's because of the weather or my feeding them while
they were in the seed tray. the feeding worked as I have much fatter
leeks that in years gone by.
