So the hose that comes our of the washer fluid resovior is just cracked and old and needs to be replaced. Everytime i add washer fluid it leaks until it gets to about 2/5 of its capacity. I had once tried to get it fixed when the mechanic was working on my car but having them just put a new hose on while the car was up but they didnt not have the right size and they were doing it for free so they didnt bother.


Where can i find out what the right size is for this, how long it needs to be and maybe a how to replace it.

The mechanic didnt seem to have a problem once it was on the lift, so i might go get an oil change and have him do it then. (thats how they let me use the lift).

 

I would just drain the washer fluid out, and remove the hose completly so you can see what size/length.

Heck, take it with you when you go buy some new tubing at the store.

just my 2cents.

my headlight washer leaks and its pissing me off cause i dont know how to get to it and i never have any washer fluid
anyone know what to do?

 

dont try to steal my thread

 

Find the leak. It is unusual for the hose to crack and leak, It is usually either a crack in the reservoir, the pump, or the headlight sprayer.

 

Make sure its not leaking from the pump(s) that sit in the resevoir. Thats the most common place for a leak. The plasitc housings for the pump that slide into the resevoir gets rotted/cracked... I just took em out, appoxied/rubber cemented them and wrapped them up in electircal tape. Its been 6 months and so far so good.

 

it was just a question and i already posted one and no one answerd

 

i have found the leak, its coming from the house just a lil to the driver side from the center of the car. I have tried to wrap it with some duct tape but as soon as i filled it up again it started leaking.
