Exclamation Rain water up under the car and on to the hood?!

OK so yesterday it was ranning out and today I'm looking under my hood only to find dryed water on my strut bar and hood? WTF! Its like the water hit the fan and sprayed off the pulleys up on to my hood?
Has this happen to anyone?
Thanks,
-Gilbert

Not to worry - notice you can see daylight all the way through the engine compartment (like any other car) and whacking a puddle or driving in the rain will definitely get moisture all the way up through the engine compartment.

Of course, it also could be just rain in the rain channels on top of the fender getting splashed about.

Totally normal. No freaking out required.

I'm not freaked out. I wash my engine when its real dirty. But I never seen ran water under my hood unless I washed under there.
Thanks guys,
