My Elise seems to have caught a cold, and I can't figure out what's the source of it.
Sometimes, especially when there's a headwind and a lot of air comes up through the radiator, some sort of clear, slightly sticky, slightly slimy fluid gets picked up somewhere and splattered all over my windscreen. It's sort of the consistency of the stuff that comes out of runny noses.
I know it's not brake fluid, that would have eaten the paint and it's not clear. I know it's not radiator fluid because that's sweet and this stuff is extremely bitter - the brake and coolant reservoirs aren't losing anything either. It's not wiper fluid, because it doesn't evaporate and I have to clean it with bug and tar remover.
I found a small pool of the stuff underneath the vent on the driver's side and cleaned it out, but it seems to have returned. My car is garaged at home, garaged at work so it's not tree drippings.
Any ideas? I can usually figure out these things, but this case seems to be some sort of strange automotive stigmata.
