Just noticed this for the first time today when I got out of the car at work (about a 10 mile drive). Again at lunch (short distance) and when I turned into the drive at home. Stopped briefly then drove another 800 ft or so to the barn, popped the hood and....nothing. Drove just a little further to the house and there it was again. Normal? It was hot today, but not much hotter than the last few days I think....
Any ideas? Stuff I should check?

wait, so was it a plastic bag? It's not embarrassing. I just have this happen to me ALL the time for some reason. Plastic bags LOVE to get under my car for no reason. LOL. My last car, it happened every 3 months. Car before that, happened twice a year.

You know those old ladies keep those plastic bags hidden under their coats and it's soooo hard to see them
