Default Water on the windshield?

I have an 02Z that I love to drive and zip around in. On my way to work this morning I noticed what looks like water spray on the windshield while doing a little spirited driving. Basicly I was zipping down a stretch of open road shifting at 5k in 1st and 2nd gear when I saw what looks like water spray on the windshield from under the hood. Any idea what this could be? Thanks.

It's the washer nozzles. It just happens when you zip around.

Nice car, BTW.

Not filling the tank up all they way can help.

Or follow GM Document ID# 1297626

Recommendation/Instructions:
Install check valve PN 22102237 in the washer fluid hose before the tee to both nozzles with the arrow on the valve pointing in the direction of fluid flow. Verify operation of pump.
