986 windscreen washer tank replacement

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a guide to removing/replacing the windscreen washer tank, as mine seems to have a slow leak?

Is it a long job or one best left until it’s a bit warmer?

Here is what happens, I fill the tank up and then about 2 or 3 weeks later it’s mostly empty, even if I don’t use the screen wash. I have had a look underneath but there is no sign of it dripping so must only be a small leak.

Ta

A spray bottle of glass cleaner and a towel in the trunk might be a much easier and cheaper "fix"......just a suggestion.

I had my fluid line disconnect from the tank accidentally and my tank slowly drained from that. Apparently porsche never put a hose clamp on that connection and it slipped right off. It was a quick and cheap fix though.
