Water Leak

RugbyRover · 30th May 2012, 11:52

I have noticed yesterday, that there is a small patch of water by the front of the drivers wheel. Possibly it could be the Washer Bottle, as radiator header tank is still on max. Is this easy to repair by replacing the washer bottle.

Thanks

Adie

Could just be the rubber bung that the washer motor pushes into.
This is a thread on how to unblock the washer bottle filter that shows you how to get at it.

Thanks for the reply on this will try it when I get in from work tonight. But could it be the washer bottle, or is this a common thing to happen.

If you've the air con on, could be from that!

I have had a washer bottle crack when the water froze in it, but not much chance of that at the moment lol
Its not a common thing as far as i know but i would think if your bottle had cracked it would be doing a bit more than drip slowly.
My guess is a loose pipe or somthing simple like that.

Just a thought, not trying to teach you to suck eggs here but, are you sure its the washer bottle?
If you have the Air Conditioning on for a while this can cause puddles of water under the car (nothing to worry about)

No had the air con on Monday, this was yesterday I noticed the water on the floor, only dripping, not constant flow. So I can rule out air con....... seem likely then to be what was first mentioned by Neilb740.

Famous last words, It's started leaking again. It does not seem to be the bottle its self, its either coming from the pipe that connects to the motor, or the grommet/plug that goes into the bottle, not sure which. Anyone got any Idea's please.
