Is this mint rust and what are the white spots?

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. First, let me apologize for my inexperience and lack of knowledge. I am a new herb grower. I decided to start with mint, because I love mint and because I understand its pretty easy to grow�at least it should be. Also, I live in an apt so its outside in a window box.

I originally started writing this question to ask if my "mojito mint" has mint rust. However, I have now noticed something completely different on my spearmint (white spots). First, with regard to the mojito mint (the last 3 pics): the only leaf affected with, what seems like, an orange spot is the one shown. All others seem to be turning a brownish or yellowish color. Now the spearmint (first pic): some leaves on the spearmint have turned yellow, but I understand that could be from over-watering.

I hope someone can help and I thank you in advance. I hope you can see my pics. I have attached link.

THANKS!
