little rich Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 hmm, if there is a leak it must be half way down the bottle!have a good look and see if you can see/feel where it is going! hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT_Aiiii Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 That will be the headlight washers filling up. theres a seperate reservoir inside the washer bottle for it. When the bottle is filled, it will start filling the other reservoir up so it looks like the bottle is emptying. If you keep filling it it will fill to the top evenually lol. I think it takes about 6 litres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT_Aiiii Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well if theres no sign of a leak around the bottle one of the headlight washers might be leaking. Seen this a few times on BMW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I had this a few months ago. Mine was the rubber seal that sits in between the washer bottle and the pump and also the pump itself had cracked........within hours it would go from full to 1/3 full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
