"Wet" Spots on engine plastics after autocrossing

So after I autocross, I get these odd... wet spots on various pieces of plastic within my engine bay. If the engine cover is on, they're on the cover but if the cover is off... they're just in weird places. It doesn't smell or feel like oil... I really don't know what it is, could it be coolant? The event was completely dry today. Here's a picture [link is high res]: http://pics.dpsubs.org/d/5570-1/DSCN1025.JPG

you might look at your rad coolant overflow hose. it is very short, and the airfow in the motor bay is odd if you have the engine cover off..
