Default Unknown Engine Spray

I posted this a month or so ago and was told the liquid is most likely coolant from the top hose, this however, does not seem to be the case. It looks as if it is coming from HERE.(see picture, bottom-right corner) This location correlates to a splatter mark on the hood liner.( see 2nd pic) It only seems to spray or leak when I hit relatively high RPMs. A conservative drive to work yields no spray, yet a quick sprint to the gym and the stuff is everywhere. Are there any additional ideas before I take it to see the doctor?

Talking Re: Unknown Engine Spray

At higher revs the engine needs to breath and the blow-by may be what you see here. I designed the super oil separatorfor this type of crud. Not sure from your picture seems to be from the air injection port, blowby is a possibility. Woody -guessing.

Yep, check the screw clamp that it is tight and make sure the the nipple coming out of the overflow tank is not cracked or broken.
