Water Source
After going for a drive this morning, I opened the hood when I got home and saw water seen in the picture in the attachment.
The car hasn't been washed in years (it's rarely driven and stored under a cover in the garage) and it's a beautiful day with very low humidity.
It's definitely not anti-freeze.
I have searched to find the source but I'm stumped. Where could it be coming from?

When I had the windshield washer reservoir completely full, every time I did some hard acceleration there would be washer fluid come out of the nozzles on the wiper arms. I'd bet that is where your water is coming from. Simply do not fill the washer reservoir full and it should stop leaking like that.

You caught me Jack. It was a beautiful top down day and I had my foot in it every chance I got. There are a couple of underpasses that are the closest thing we have to a tunnel. When you hit the throttle under them the sound is amazing.
I thought the water might have been coming out of the wipers, but most of it was not in the depression that's under them, it was in the recessed area behind the battery and forward of the wipers (it's hard to see in the picture). I think you are right because that's the only place it could be coming from. You are also right, the wiper-washer reservoir is full.
Thanks!
