snakes!!! watch out, they're poisonous...
you're going to have to be a lot more specific... where under the hood are they coming from? Does the engine shift around under load? (set parking brake and put car in gear, have someone look for movement). heavy clunk? tinny rattle? does it happen any other time. etc. etc.

A low level of "blinker fluid"? Could you explain what you're talking about. I honestly have no clue what you're talking about (if you're being serious).

Re: rattle noise under hood? (projekt4dr)
could be several things. if its a aluminum like rattling id check the tightness of your header and anything else that bolts up to the block/head. if the sound is coming from the head, it might be the valves in need of adjusting.
could be a lot of stuff as stated above.

It's most likely a heatsheild or exhaust component. Mine started doing that when cold recently. Freaked me out the first time because it was very loud and sounded like something internal. Now it's getting a little more loose, and you can hear the standard metal vibration noise of a heatsheild. I can't seem to track down the exact culprit yet though.

Could be that. That is what happens to my del sol. It sounds more like a clunking though. Check the torque mounts (lower motor mounts) to see if they are cracked or chewed up (rubber inside the metal).
