Nissan Repair: 1993 MAXIMA SE SOHC LEAKING WINDSHIELD WASHER RESERVOIR, windshield washer reservoir, rubber gasket
QuestionMy washer indicator light is on the dash. I tried to fill the reservoir with new fluid, and it flows directly out the bottom of the car in a thin stream.
Do I need to replace the reservoir? Is there a plug that might have popped out? I can't see the tub, it's not visible.
AnswerHi Henry -
Looks like you have a cracked reservoir. On the bottom of the reservoir you have the washer motor imbedded in the container with a round rubber gasket. It is definitely leaking from there. I believe there are only a couple screws that hold the reservoir in place, and you can lift it out. I think it is 10MM bolts. This is a dealer item, and not sold in regular auto stores. Sometimes you can epoxy the leak, depending on how large it is.
