Hi everyone.
2006 Accord Euro (Standard) .
I've noticed a large patch of dried white spots inside the bonnet. Can someone possibly suggest what they might be ? Should i be concerned ? Sorry i'm not too technical.
The patches are around the battery and adjacent pipes. Other parts of the bonnet (like the power steering hose, or pully for e.g. are free of them)
They do look like they were once upon-a-time in liquid form, but they are dry now.
If i rub the white patches with finger, they come off as powdery.
Nothing else comes to mind. Car is used frequently. Haven't felt much difference.
Fact : 1 month ago i opened the bonnet and ALL was clean
Fact : the only thing i can recall in the last 1 month was a Hanny's minor service. I do recall they said the battery terminals had some "rust" and i did see them try to clean those rust with some form of spray. I don't know if they dried it or not (i presume they would...)
Here are a few pictures i took of the bonnet just then,
