The underside of the hood has never been washed since new. (commuter car) I have lived in climates from 38 Degrees C to -45 Degrees C with this car. So it is improbable for any bug to have lived in the same spot for the past 11 years and survive these climates not to mention underhood temperatures.

I'm confident with my original post and hypothesis.

So my theory that is backed up with evidence is the one I'm going to stick with.
LOL Thought this was a well dead subject!
Not the same pattern, shape of spots, material of spots, type of car or location of possible sources but if it makes you feel better we will declare you the winner!
