Windshield washer reservoir bottle leaking

[Daniel R]

I had the loose hose problem too. I was without washers from 2008 until 2012 when all I had to do was get behind the wheel-well liner and plug the hose back onto the bottle.

And yes, I zip-tied it on to avoid doing the job ever again.

Well I removed the wheel and plastic lining inside the well to get a look-see. As I suspected, the L shaped fill tube connects direct to the reservoir bottle there. The connection seemed loose, and was the reason for the leakage. I notice that the fill tube snaps in place with a pair of clips, however it wasn't snug enough to form a seal I guess. I played with the fill tube and found a spot where the leaks stopped, and applied a small spot of silicone adhesive to atop the clip to hopefully keep it in place. Refilled, drove it around, squirted the windshield, and thus far no leaks. Thanks all

Thanks for reporting back- so often the OP doesn't and it diminishes the value of the thread.

Here are pictures of the reservoir behind wheel well with the liner removed. My problem was also that the line had come off the connection. I merely had to slide it back on. It was very snug when I did. I am not sure why the forum rotates the reservoir 90 degrees when I post it.
