Has anyone seen this before? It looks like corrosion but my Rebel is less than 2 years old so I’m not sure what it would be

that almost looks like electrolysis. especially the middle picture. but I would not know why the plastic parts are covered in it.
 
Looks like mud that has splashed up between the radiator and engine then dried on your engine.
 
Looks like dried mud splatter to me. Time to wash your engine.
 
When I first saw the photos I though we were being punked.

Kind of like:
Has anyone seen anything like the photos below? It's like the windshield is leaking some gooey substance while driving down the road. If I use the washers some of the goo cleans off but some just smears across the windshield. Nothing leaked all winter, but now it's getting bad and is worse at night in rural areas while at highway speeds.

If you don't remember driving through sloppy mud, I would talk to your teenage kids or maybe see if you are sleep walking at night.

thats what my windshield looks like all the time. I drive through farm country to and from work. lots of bugs at dawn and dusk.
 
I was able to blow most of it off and it definitely is not dirt. Almost like spray foam. Call dealer?

I agree, looks like blown/sprayed foam insulation. Maybe some factory overspray? Not sure if that would be from the hood or firewall area. I
would also expect that to be applied before dropping the engine/transmission into the frame.
Just a WAG.
