Iād get a torch and see if the pipes are pushed onto the pumps fully and the pumps are fully pushed into the bottle first though. Ray

My 2003 leaks when the washer bottle is topped up, so must be out of the cap. Initially I thought it was coolant but traced to the washer bottle, one of the advantages of having blue washer fluid and pink coolant.

They have a breather hole in them as well as not sealing that well. When you fill it up to the brim with cold fluid, the fluid warms up and expands so it leaks out. It doesn't really matter though, it's not corrosive or anything and it's usually only a small amount. |

Thanks for that tip ZSD, I must admit I had a "oh no where's that coming from" moment when it first happened!

As ZSD mentions above.
Mine does it too, and only when topped right up when fluid is sloshed about. There is a tiny little breather right in the middle of the cap too. No problems or issues to worry about if it leaks a bit, it won't do any harm. My washer fluid is apple green.  $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Could it just be the ice melting from the condenser when you stop?

Aircon does dump fluid, especially in this weather.
We used to have a Navara D40 that used to do it. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R š¬š§š“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æš“ó §ó ¢ó ·ó ¬ó ³ó æš“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æš®šŖšŗšøā½ļøš¢ļøāļøš§°šŖ |
