HI Guys,

I have noticed that when i fill my screen washer tank up it begins to leak from under the car. Now i am guessing that there is some kind of pipe from the tank which could be the cause of this problem.

Can anyone help or suggest anything.

Cheers

had the same problem on mine, took the washer bottle out, (had to remove the battery to do this), also a bit tricky where the washer bottle goes into the front wing for the headlamp wash.
theres a little motor which powers the front and rear washer jets, where it sits at the base of the washer bottle there should be a rubber seal, i replaced mine with a normal tap washer, and it worked fine. no more leaks.

Denzil did you replace the seal where the pump goes in or where it connects to the other tank (bottom right of the container) Sorry for my lame explanation....... :lol:
