Default Water on windshield after driven

When I drive my 01 Z-06 there are water spots on the left lower side of the windshield. I cant figure out where its coming from. It seems to happen when i get on the car hard. Could not find this in search. Anyone have any ideas?

I keep my WW fluid low to the point that sometimes my warning comes on.
Problem solved.

Common problem. I've found that by lowering the level of the fluid in the reservoir the unwanted spray stops.

Great thanks. I will take care of that. Since I got you guys on here. I also have a noise in the rear of the car. When I turn left its louder and when I turn right it lessons. I suspect wheel bearing. Outer one I would hope.Any gues on which one it could be??

I think the wheel bearings are contained in one sealed unit so it has to be replaced in whole...not inner or outer bearing like on a 1977...
