New guy here. Have not really needed to use a forum for my SUV since I purchased it in 2007 new. Have not had many problems at all in the past 10 years. I have only spent 2500.00 in repairs other than routine maintenance which is hard to believe but it's true. THE BEST vehicle I have ever owned.

Ok, in the last 2 days my washer fluid reservoir started leaking. Not sure how to remove. If anyone has instructions and/or video I would greatly appreciate it. From what I can see, it appears I could get to it by removing headlight? Just registered and not use to forum yet.

 

I've always pulled the cover from inside the wheel well (you will need to buy new clips) the old ones will appear to be in place, but when driving one will let go and the cover gets ground up by the wheel. Or at least that's what happened to me.

Attached is the diagram

 

Thanks binzd. I will give that a try.

 

Thank you binzd for sharing diagram

 

Hi Paladin.

What was the cause of your wiper washer leak ? I have similar problem with my 2010 outlander so I replace the wiper washer pump with a trico 11-613 wich didn't come with a grommet (junction between the pump and the reservoir). It still leaking. Less but still leaking. Maybe the next steps is to replace the grommet ? Or the wiper washer line ? or the reservoir ? I dont' know. What about your experience ?

 

I thought the reservoir was cracked. It was actually the pump. I replaced both and no more leaks. I kept the old reservoir, filled with water, sealed pump hole and did not leak so I guess old one is good. I thought a grommet would come with the pump.

 

Ok so you replace the grommet also (it came with the pump you bought) ?

Maybe I moved the grommet when I pull out the original pump and the gromment is not properly seated...

 

Yes grommet came with pump. I just googled the PN you listed and showed some have grommet and some don't. Depends on brand I guess.

 

Update: I re-opened the fender to get the reservoir . I pass my hand around the reservoir and I have a slow leak on driver's side of the reservoir even if I put a new pump (there was also a leak at the pump). I didn't have the time to remove the reservoir yet. I will do next week-end. So a lot of time et energy to resolve this kind of problem.
