General Screen wash
Just how much capacity do these have as I seem to be getting through gallons of fluid.
Just hope the bottle isnt split as it looks a bugger to get out & change!
looks like u may have leaking hose or cracked container.
i found in mine the rear wiper wash hose had come off at the rear wiper motor
some ppl seem to take the actual wing off to replace the tank, but if you've got small hands and an array of tools you don't, unless its a GT (they have HUGE tanks).
unless the car has been in an accident or you've driven over a manhole where the plate hasn't been on it atall the tank won't be broken (almost sure).
more likely a pipe line is split or perished (i've seen hoses perish on cars less than 2yrs old, LOOKING AT YOU MERCEDES!!!!).
in a mk1 punto I believe its either 1.5 or 2.5litres (2.5 more likely) to the brim.
and if you buy your screen wash by th litre like me (B*Q 1litre = 97p, or 84 at trade no vat) then it takes 1/6 of a litre bottle of wash, and the rest is water

If you do have to change the bottle...just jack up and put in stands....take off the passenger side wheel...remove the arch liner and the bottle is held on by a nut on the wing and a bolt in the inner wing....piece of piddle...on a Mark 1 that is
