Washer fluid reservoir repair question
Washer fluid reservoir repair question
Has anyone removed and repaired the washer fluid tank, as opposed to replacing it?
I just noticed my wash fluid tank must have a leak. Put in fluid and next day got washer fluid level warning and bunch of fluid on floor in garage.
So clearly something going on here. Will try to get time to pull tank out to see where it is all coming from.
Wanted to know if repair is feasible. Repair is the quick to do. Planning to use some high heat epoxy to repair if the tank is damaged. If hose is damaged, that should be easier to repair.
Thanks.

I have a crack in mine somewhere too because if I try to top it off, I see a puddle the next day too.. Curious how you access the tank and how easy it is to get to it/replace it.. for now it's not draining completely so I'm somewhat OK..
I already have good info on replacement. What I am looking for is if repair is decent. It is located under hood where heat will affect the repair.
Basically, you raise that side of car, remove tire, wheel well lining, remove pass side engine covers. Remove screws holding bottom of tank to car wheel well. Remove hoses, replace pump and sensor onto new tank, affix tank to car, replace engine cover, replace wheel well lining, put wheel back, lower car. DONE.
