I've seen two videos on youtube that reveal a problem:

water spills inside the engine compartment that get soaked and dirty. Look and tell me what you think.

Never noticed it before but yeah you're right. I wonder if it's missing some wheel arch liners or something like that. Do you think its coming from underneath or maybe through the grill.

I think is simple to fix adding a sponge wire to seal the cover inside.

This happened to mine, noticed it soon after purchase, took it into my dealer who cleaned it, hasn't happened since.
