Engine bay pics would be extremely boring. Nothing out of the ordinary there. No leaks, drips, etc... in fact the engine bay is generally cleaner that that little point on the hood. The only thing that makes sense is the air flow over that part of the vehicle collecting road grime at highway...

I haven't ever been able to figure out where it is coming from, I have a few guesses, but they are just that, guesses. It still shows up if I go more than a few weeks between washes, but hasn't negatively affected the finish (even though it is the most easily damaged paint I've ever known), and...
