Windshield Washer Reservoir
This is a new one.
I fill the washer reservoir and it's empty in no time. Must have a leak. I've never come across a leaking washer fluid reservoir. Anyone else dealt with this?

Re: Windshield Washer Reservoir
The washer pump is located on the outside of the tank at the bottom and a likely culprit. I've had to change the pumps on my '04 and '05. The bodies cracked and let the fluid drain out.

Re: Windshield Washer Reservoir
If it doesn't just run out on the ground when you fill it, it could be the hose from the pump has a hole in it by the battery.

Re: Windshield Washer Reservoir
^ yep, my '02 had a b/o hose..
one day filling it up, started peeing on the ground half way full.. figured the res was cracked, ordered replacement, and found hose when I pulled it.. thankfully, dealer took the new unmolested res back no worries

Re: Windshield Washer Reservoir
Dont know if this was your problem or not , but gm had a problem with battery acid deteriorating the components . The battery sits right at it . I could fill mine and it would run out until it was half full and then stop . I had parted a 04 out and had an extra . Installed it in my 06 and no more leak .
