Hi All,


I'm not very good under the bonnet, but I have a slow windscreen wash leak. Slow as in the tank is emptying over the course of a couple of weeks.


Can anyone give me any tips on how I might be able to locate it and fix it myself.


Also, I live in a cold climate so I always am very careful to make sure anti-freeze is added correctly.


I guess I'm jusy looking for some pointers on wether I can fix this myself rather than a trip to the garage.


Thanks

Hi,
the tank is located under the front nearside headlight, / battery area,

the pump is at the bottom of the tank..,

I suspect it's either a split hose.. or a dodgy seal on the pump.. however the plastic tanks CAN have minor splits

do check for damp carpets.. and for water in the rear tyre well ( boot / trunk)

Yeah mine leaks where the tube connects to the reservoir, it drips out and leaves a puddle under the car, so now I just don’t fill it and it’s fine.

If I were you I’d take the front bumper off and inspect the tank and pump [emoji1360] You can get new pumps and tanks relatively cheap online.
