Windshield Washer Fluid Leak

Hey guys, Everytime I re-fill the washer fluid in my car, it leaks through the bottom once I apply the pressure to spray. I went under my car and noticed that the nozzle was loose from the pump. I put the nozzle back in, and then it comes out again upon pressure. Is there something that is suppose to hold this nozzle in place?

Go to a hardware/plumbing store and ask about hose clips. You could try plastic cable ties, or some strong wire twisted with pliers.

SOURCE: windshield washer does not pump fluid

The pump works off the same circuit as the wipers, so it would be same fuse. Most likely the pump is no bad.

SOURCE: power steering fluid leak (1999 grand am gt)

sounds like a high pressure hose or rack and pinion would have to get underneath and take a good look at it while someone starts it and turns the whell all the way to tyhe left or right and hold it there till you see the leak

SOURCE: I have a 2003 Pontiac gran prix. The windshield

Check on the passenger side where the tubing is routed along the top and the turns the corner where it is supposed to be under the gasket. Mine had not been working for a long time and today when I replaced my serpentine belt, I happened to noticed the the tubing was pinched and cutting off the fluid. I rerouted it under the gasket like it is supposed to be after I straightened out the tubing.

Where is the fuse for the water pump for the window washer

A washer pump in a car's windshield wiping system moves washer fluid from a reservoir through hoses. The motorized pump pressurizes the fluid to allow it to be squirted from the hoses through nozzles onto the front and/or rear windshield of a car. The washer fluid helps windshield wipers get rid of rain, dirt, or other objects that can interfere with a driver's visibility. If your washer fluid is not being sent out when activated, the solution could simply be filling the washer system's reservoir with more fluid or cleaning the nozzles and hoses. In more severe cases, the washer pump may need to be replaced. Here are steps to troubleshoot a windshield-washer pump.

Some type of fluid leaking around the left front tire

Had a similar issue. The leak though, in front of the left-front tire was the windshield washer pump seal. Check to see if that fluid is washer fluid. If so, then thats likely the problem.

I cannot find where to fill the rear windshield washer.

All washer fluid comes from the same reservoir. If your not getting washer fluid to the rear washer, it could either be a plugged or broken washer fluid line, or rear washer fluid pump.

Windshield washer pump is not working

not likely that fuse blew but check fuse box for wiper fuse and see if blown, when u fill fluid, turn ignition on but not running hit squirter and listen for pump noise if noise is present then hit repeatedly and look if there is any leakage dripping and trace leak, if no noise check resivor for debrie floating (posisible blockage) last thing is check for power at pump with wire probs
