An Embarassing Problem

My car is suffering from incontinence (or maybe premature ejaculation) :oops:
Everytime I accelerate quickly the rear window washer leaks water.
I have already had to refill the bottle once, and I have only had the car for 2 months.

A friend suggested I put a hotdog just before the outlet (wider diamater pipe between 2 smaller pipes).

Is this a common problem and is it easy to fix?

sounds like the impeller or valve is a bit worn out and is letter water past it when its not in use on the water pump. to drain the bottle though sounds like a pretty serious issue (well as far as washer water pumps go).

pull the washer motor out and take it to Repco or somewhere and ask for one the same. Should only cost 10 bucks for a new one.

Hi,
Similar problem for me too, but mine dont leak, mine doesn't work at all. When I got the car it was fine. So I thought it might just be the case of holes getting blocked, but it's not that at all.

Is there another water bottle for the rear window wipers?

Thank you.
