Windshield res. leak

I seem to have a major leak in my windshield res. Anyone have the same problem? If so, where was it leaking from?
Thanks,

Re: Windshield res. leak

What is a 'windshield res.'? Are you talking about the winshield washer fluid resevoir?

Repair method in the archives (more)

Apparently this is a frequent problem. It has something to do with the headlight washers. Perhaps frequent use causes something to become unseated. I think it is a line from the reservoir to the high pressure washers, and is an easy fix.

But don't trust my memory, there have been posts within the last month or so.

I'm having this repaired on Tuesday...

It was the only thing that broke on my 10000 mile road trip. And yes, it does seem to be related to the headlight washers. It was the first time I had ever used the headlight washers (at 28000 miles on the car), and less than a minute after, the warning light came on... They ordered a new part for it, so I'm not sure if it is something that is easily repairable without a new reservoir.
