Default Does this happen to anyone else?

I have H/C and ATI, LT header and the whole 9 yards. When I get on it hard and the car is pulling as hard as it can, I get a small drop or two of water that "appear" at the bottom of the driver's side windshield. This happened even when I only had a T1 intake and exhaust and continues after more in depth modding. Does this happen to anyone else? Where does it come from?

Window washer fluid :confused: ... could be a little sloshing around in the tank could have caused it (?)

:cheers:

Happens to me all the time when accelerating full throttle through the gears. Never happens on my Tahoe. I think I know why ;) .

Ya, as others have said, it's windshield washer fluid. I solved the problem the easy way, just keep the level low in the container. :cheers:

I have been told that the engine compartment in a c5 pressurizes under WOT and puts the "squeeze" on the washer fluid tank causing moisture on the drivers side windshield. Mine stopped with low washer fluid and/or the heat extraction hood from motor city mold co.
