Default washer fluid leak.... Just started
My washer fluid is leaking like crazy, i thought i was just out, but after going and trying to fill it up, it comes directly out. Any ideas where the problem could be? It comes out around/ in the drivers side front wheel, where the tank is.

Default there are clips that connect to the Headlight washers, thats where I would look.
have to take the front bumper off to check (90% sure).

Default Sounds like the headlight washer pump .... common issue. The tank could be split (that also happens
to some).

Default Just pull the drivers side wheel well liner. No need to pull the bumper unless and until you deter-
mine it is not the tank or the pump.

Default Can you access all the clips to the headlight washers, just through the well?
Seriously asking...I had the same thing happen to me and I had to pull off the bumper, but it was the clip closest to the Jet.

Default No if it is a jet the easiest method is to pull the bumper.
The pump and or the tank itself seems more common a failure point.
