Leakage and spots.

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I noticed hard water like stains on my hood. Whether it was a hot day or hot engine bay or both but sitting on my driveway with the kids, I saw the windshield fluid start coming out of the nozzles. Not like spraying out but puddling up enough to where it runs the length of the hood.

Yep, that's a common occurance; the washer fluid expands due to the heat, leaking out unto the hood.
Check to see if your washer lines have the relief bleeder valves before the noozles.

You can also just loosen the blue top to the washer fill tank and that will

releive the pressure in the system, works for me.
