I'm now a week into Caterham ownership, and have started to give the car a little bit of beans.

under full throttle, some clear liquid seems to shoot from under the bonnet onto the windscreen.

The liquid doesnt seem to smell, but is this normal?

car is a duratec engine...

are you sure it's coming from under the bonnet and not form the windscreen washer nozzle?

As a matter of interest have you got a heater innit?. my r300 used to do the samme thing but i could never work out whether it was water sat on the plastic rim around the heater or whether it came from the small channel between bonnet and bodywork

If it is the washer jet then it squirts a few drops under hard right cornering on a K-Series. I am not sure where the washer bottle is on a CSR/Duratec as the manifold is on the other side.
