    I have a problem that I can't seem to fix. Everytime I pour windshield
    fluid into the reservoir, it goes in OK but after a few seconds it
    leaks out to the ground and nothing comes out when I spray the
    windshield. I can't find an access point to see where it might be
    leaking. Anybody got any ideas?

    Thanks,

    you need to find the hole or replace the whole thing. You need to remove a
    few panels most likely

    (John Breeden), being of unsound mind, did utter in

    Normally I'd say the rubber grommet sealing the motor to the bottle is
    dried up and is leaking. But you say it leaks out within "a few seconds"?
    That's pretty bad. Has something damaged the bumper or anything under the
    bumper?

    If there is no impact or freezing damage, than it's the grommet. You have
    no choice but to remove the front bumper, remove the bottle, reseal the
    grommet and motor with fish-tank silicone, let cure and reassemble. It is
    possible to do this with just the wheel well liners removed, but it's quite
    a lot easier to do with the bumper removed, which is pretty easy.

    If it's a split bottle due to freezing or impact damage, you still need to
    remove the bumper, but now you need to start making calls to wreckers for a
    used bottle.
