Liquid oozing on my bumper

Anyone ever see this before I got this yellow liquid and black grime on my bumper but nothing in the engine seems to be leaking. I looks like it's coming out of my hood if that makes any sense

I'll try to get some pics

You are hitting some big bugs...if it's leaking from the top, how can you not tell where it's coming from?

I open the hood and it's nowhere on the engine but it looks like it coming out of the underside of the hood through one of the holes, I'm gettin it checked out on the way home today, it's just weird

Nah, I think it's from my undercoating, and because of the crazy heat we've been getting here. Regardless, it's washed off. My car no longer has a runny nose

BTW, you need to adjust your sig pic so it's not so wide... take out one of the cels and it'll be perfect...

In all honesty, it was a jump to conclusion on my part. It was the first time I have ever seen anything like this. Luckily, it was just the undercoating coming out from the interior of the hood and not a major issue. But sometimes you never know. I will be the first one to say that I am not in any way a mechanic, and that my knowledge with the inner workings of an engine is very limited. That's why I posted, and is this not one of the reasons we have this forum? To help people out. And thanks to everyone that did try to put in some valid comments.
