    Big puddle of washer fluid under my car in the garage today.

    I suspect I have a loose winsheild washer fluid line somewhere ;)

    Any usual suspects here? To help me narrow it down.

    Best way to get at things....jack her up and remove belly pan....jack her up and remove wheel.....jack her up and remove entire front bumper...???


    Thanks all.

    When this happens it is usually an o-ring in the connections of the washer fluid system or a crack in the pump or headlight washers.

    Yeah, headlight washers are useless so I may just cap off that line from the pump and hope the leak is in that section.

    What is the best way to get to the windshield washer pumps?

    I think this guy is the culprit.

    Can it (some kind of check valve) be bypassed ?

    Also I am a total newb and did not denote which line went to what side (black and white sides)

    Anyone know which line goes on black and which one on white?

    Did yours leak only when you filled up the reservoir completely? I have a drip when I do that, which tells me the leak is somewhere where the top tank connects to the lower one, so I wonder if yours behaved similarly.

    p.s. is that a bowl full of ammo?! :)

    You can get to the pumps by removing the headlight, but you have to basically work by feel that way. When mine was leaking, the entire pump housing split apart. If it's the fluid reservoir, you'll need to pull the fender liner.

    Is there supposed to be o rings in the connectors that connect to these 2 connections?

    Off Topic. That is a little bit of everything in there from a cleanup.

    On topic, how about those O-rigs??
