Leak From Screenwash Compartment

[harvey]

topped up the screen wash only to find it all over the drive 10 minutes later the leftovers still squirt out not only on the windscreen but under the car at the same time any ideas on what to do ?

Welcome to the forum.

There must be a hole somewhere letting the water out. You need to access the water bottle to check for a pipe/bottle/connection leak.

dont really no anything about cars if i put it up on ramps is it easy to access the area or will i need to take it to a garage thanks for the reply

In the Haynes manual (worth buying) it says to remove the right hand wheel and then the wheel arch plastic liner to get to the water bottle. To remove the wheel a ramp would not help, need the car jack and an axle stand to support the car whilst you work on it.
