What the heck happened in my engine bay?

[ch3no2]

Took it out last Friday. Just under 2,000 miles. No winters, no rain, no dirt roads. Treat it like 911 Turbo S. What do ya'll make of this?

Soap from a pressure wash?

How should we know. I mean ,really, is something this trivial even worth taking up the bandwidth to post and expecting answers.

The point of an online forum like this is to share information and help others. If you have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, don't post.

I'd say that you drove through a mud puddle, and it splashed up just right/wrong and made a mess in the engine compartment.

No great mystery.

No winters, no rain, no dirt roads, no mud puddles. Reading is fundamental- it's in the OP.

Looks like I am not welcome here. All good.

I appreciate the knowledge pre-purchase this forum's productive members provided.

I wish this forum to continue and thrive without me.

Bless your hearts.

Stick around, most of us don't bite.

You are most welcome here. Each member here speaks only for themselves - no one here speaks on behalf of the entire community.

I have only seen coolant leaving behind a white residue. Like when I spilled it while topping off. The only time I dealt with coolant sprays towards the back of the engine bay was on my 1993 NA. The hoses going through the firewall into the heater core developed a pinhole leak. Check your coolant levels in both the radiator and overflow/reservoir. Also squeeze your radiator hoses (while the caps are on) to check for leaks. It might be easier to stand on the passenger side of the engine bay to take a good look in the back. Hopefully you can find the source!

Well despite the misunderstanding in this thread (about not being welcome which I don't think is the case at all), as with any thread let's keep it on topic as others may find it useful.

@ch3no2 You're certainly welcome here, hope you'll stick around.

@sm1ke Thanks for keeping this thread on the rails.

Now back to the engine bay mystery...Would be nice to know what happened!

Nothing good.

Wow! Really?

Of course, I read AND comprehended what you wrote above.

But when you show us a pic, that CLEARLY shows that something splashed up into your engine compartment, but you say that's impossible? What do you want us to tell you?

See if you can comprehend this,

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Without knowing the texture of the white blobs (greasy, crusty, gooey) it kind of looks like white lithium grease. I don’t know why anyone would use that in the engine bay.

This post has one reaction at the time of this response and it’s laughing from Conrad 16.5.

So much for our Site Rules, that final warning, Sm1ke and I trying to mediate and keep things on topic…We have rules and guidelines for a reason, to keep it friendly and informative for everyone and as you can see, they’re enforced.
