Washer fluid resevoir not holding fluid
 

What could cause this, and how do i get to it to figure out what is wrong?

It seems to leak pretty quickly, help...

Is the bottle cracked?

Not from what I can see. Whats the best way to get to it?




100th Post!:yahoo:

the reservoir is right in front of the driver-side tire.. you have to pull the fender down to see it and access it.. my sensor is plugged in upside down in it.. so when its full- I get the low washer fluid light.. and when I run out.. the light shuts off lol..

need to turn it around :p

the fender well liner, or the fender?

liner.. lol

The plastic case of the motor cracked on mine so the o ring inside of it wasn't sealing it. I pulled the motor out of the resevoir, put some RTV silicone on the o ring, put the motor back together and put a zip tie around it so the o ring would seal. No more leaks.

Mine just had this problem, BUT IT WASN'T THE RESERVOIR LEAKING.


Open your hood, look for the plastic lines that go up to your windshield. Follow the lines down the hood until it gets down around the battery. Inspect them very closely in this area.

Mine were almost completely corroded away near the battery. When I went to fill the reservoir while looking at the plastic lines, I could see the water siphoning itself out as I was filling it. I cut out the bad section of plastic line, replaced it with rubber vacuum hose line, GTG.

Could be the sensor at the bottom of the tank mine did it you have to remove the driver side splash shield and its on your face!!just fix but could also be a crack somewhere!!good luck!!

It turns out it wis the motor case that is cracked:( I work for the next 4 days, so there is nothing i can do till sunday. What are my options at this point?

Junk yard, ebay, or go without washer fluid?

Thats funny, ive been without washer fluid about two months now, and i'm tired of stopping at gas stations everytime my window gets dirty when im driving. I finally got tired of it today.

carry a gallon of water with you.. and if your window gets dirty, pull over and splash some water on the windshield and hit the wipers.. or carry a thermos? thermus? thurmus? whatever the hell those things are that keep coffee hot- and dont even pull over, just chuck some water out at the window while you're rolling and hit the wipers :lol:

other than that.. I have no idea what to tell you lol

The same exact thing happen to mine. I thought the sprayers were clogged up because it was just like misting the window. Did it in my driveway, got out of the car and there was a puddle. Easy fix though.

Autozone can get them for around $20 bucks. Take a pic of it so I can see if its the same that happen to mine, if it is I will get pics of what I did so you can fix it for free, well unless you don't have zip ties and RTV sealant.

I just put everything back together, I have to go to work at 6am tomorrow, i didnt even think of taking pictures...lol...im almost positive it is what your describing... I will try the rtv though.

Thank you to everyone with your suggestions

nobody liked my suggestion lol

mine was the same way for the longest time! LOL

as for the leak, the pump maybe cracked, seal is bad, or a hose got disconnected.

I THINK LIKE YOU.....my washer pump is dead so i gotta carry a gallon with me:haha:

lol @ above two posts :lol:

why 2? jesus....im stoopid:jk:

go download microsoft office communicator so we can instant message eachother while I'm at work lol

Its leaking around the washer pump or the pump itself is leaking. Had the same issue on another car.
