Can someone tell me why my spyder is throwing up?

Well I go to open up my hood this morning (I think I have a coolant leak somewhere) and I find this:

Underside of the hood:

Anybody know what this could be? I didn't see it yesterday.

Battery acid. Your battery's puking everywhere. Have you done some hard driving/turns/launches lately>?
 
Actually I haven't been. Just normal a to b driving. The terminals look clean and it would completely baffle me as to how it got under the recirculation tube. Any other suggestions? I'll check the battery again just to make sure
 
Ya, and with the wind coming through the bottom and grill it creats turbulence and probably throws it up there and over the other way and your fans can help it move too.
 
I'll check it out

This is what my upper rad hose looks like so I'm sure the bottom is no better

Are you sure it's not just road spray? My engine bay can get a little like that in the winter when they start spreading road salt. Dusty/dirty roads with a fresh rain may do the same thing.

A coolant leak would also do that.

It did rain like a week ago but I didn't have to drive until everything was dry

The overflow and bottom rad hose look perfect. However, that same stuff is in between the fins of the radiator core, so is it possible that the actual core may be leaking?
