windsheild washer fluid leak
Here's a new one, I'm getting a nice blue puddle forming under the driver's side front bumper. I've been going through a lot of washer fluid lately, thought it was just from heavy use during the recent snow. I'm assuming it's a leak in the windshield washer fluid plumbing for the left headlamp washer (always thought these washers were useless anyway) as I can see a trickle of blue fluid through the driver's side grill below the bumper.
Anyone else had this?
Any ideas on how to get in there and fix it?
Thanks

If it is the the headlight washer, you will need to remove the front bumper. It isnt too difficult if you know where all the bolts are to remove it. Be sure to set aside plenty of time to investigate. Good luck!

Update for leaking washer tank. I took the tank out again and this time used "plastic" epoxy, which adheres to the plastic tank and bonds with the tank plastic. $4.99 later and tank no longer leaks. When I had the tank out, you can tell by the mount on the tank, it is mounted at a bad angle, which over a period of time will cause stress on the tank, which is where it was leaking. I can also see where the washer pump could cause this issue, but I siliconed the motor in place, just in case this was leaking also.. It is so nice having washer fluid in the tank and that washer tank low light OFF finally.
