I think I have a leak in the washer fluid container cause I have to add fluid like every 2 weeks and I hardly use the washer fluid on my windshield?? The "low wash" yellow light comes on which I think is a nice feature on my 97 Regal LS with 88 miles, and all of a sudden I check and the fluid is gone! I don't notice any leaks under the vechicle perhaps washer fluid dries up quickly?

If anybody has any ideas it would be appreciated

This site is extremely useful and helpful more so than most local garages in my area who never talk when they work on my Buick!!

Keep up the great work!!

Sound like a leak. It's a pretty good sized tank and I don't think it evaporates that fast even if you use the ready mix washer fluid. The washer fluid may dry up quickly because it contains alcohol.

below wipers, under hood follow the hose from where it splits to the right. you'll find it shot out. (not enough/any glue there) Best bet is to remove 6 screws from left fender to far right. lift the "mesh screen" and check both hoses from where they split near center.
while you're there seperate and blow out all hose sections even up to sprayer on wiper-arm.
Glue where it shot out. or you'll be at it again in cpl weeks :)
