Is there a way to know when the fluid resivour is full before it startes running out on the floor when you fill it up ?

 

When the light comes on it will hold 1 gallon without leaking.

 

Went and got oil change and they attempted to fill my windshield washer fluid up and discovered i have a hairline crack in it?? Which results in leakage into oil pan?

little problems vs awesome car

 

Probably nothing wrong with the tank. You can't tell when the tank is full until you see it leaking onto the ground and then most people think it's cracked. It says in the manual it will hold 1 full gallon after the low level light comes on and any more than that will leak.

 

keep mine just above empty to save weight. Really never had the windshield get so dirty that I had to ever use them

 

I guess i should have "RTFB" (read the f#*&* book). I never waited for the light to come on, I would just add to it whenever I thought it might need it.

 

If in fact the Tank has a hairline line crack, and it was not subject to an over fill, here's an easy fix, rather than replacement.

Just get a Hot Glue Gun and run a bead of hot glue along the crack, and let it dry, cold to the touch.

In my Daughters Pontiac, I had a hole develop in her Radiator over flow Tank, due to vibration and wear against the mounting, along one corner.

I hit the hole with Hot Glue, re-installed the Tank, and it's been holding hot radiator fluid ever since.

I'm sure hot glue will work with a cold fluid Tank, no-problem-o...
