Yah im thinking its moisture/condensation. cause it was cold the night before but while running nice and warm i probably built up so much moisture from the roads that its just leaking off. im gunna go take off my hood insulation stuff, see if that helps. after that ima cruise her to my garage and get her up on a jack n see. :shrug: hopefully it checks out just to be moisture.

Check out your inner fenders. Open the door and look between the door and the car, into the area over the mud guard. See if that is all full of leaves and dirt and stuff.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
