    Does anybody know why this is happening? Is it normal? I cleaned the area once before and it seems to be coming back. Its right above the belt for the supercharger.

    Check your superchargers oil. I think this is the snout bearings leaking?

    water, and dirt and mud or whatever will hit the belt and sling onto the hood.
