Looks like a soap residue that originated from the upper left of the photo.

All the hoses intact? AC lines? Any cap missing?

Looks like dirty water that splashed up into the engine bay. Can happen if you hit a puddle at a fast enough speed.

Water with a high mineral content. I live near Limestone Rd. and our water is loaded with limestone. Everytime I wash the car I have to go over it with water spot remover. My engine bay has some white streaks too.

But how does it get there with all the covers in place?

I think it could be forced in. The panels prevent most water from coming in, but it isn't completely sealed. Now that I look closer though, I think that you're probably right in that it is soap as you mentioned, most likely from using a pressure washer to rinse the soap that pools at the bottom of the windshield instead of allowing it to drain on it's own.
