767-300 Squirting Probe !
OK I just have to clear this one up so please no guessing.
There is a probe with 4 holes just under the left windscreen wiper of the 767-300 (Capt side). Every time I do a left turn while taxing its squirts fluid out onto my windscream. Only a left turn !
Now before you ask the rain repellant has been deactivated for years as usual. Never seen the probe on the 757 or 767-2 and its got me foxed.
So what is it for ? Currently operating multiple sectors in a very hot climate so there is real demand on the cooling system but this may be a red herring.

How much water is it? Only probe there is the TAT probe. This cannot collect lots of water. Only other thing I can think of is a bad seal between the left side of the radome/fuselage, so water can collect there. You have it on other 767's too, or only that particular a/c?
