Windshield washer fluid is not engine oil or antifreeze: its loss is not particularly critical. But if you have to fill up again and again, especially if the
If your car runs out of windshield washer fluid too quickly, you can start by brushing the dirty weather overboard. We drive a lot, splash a lot on the glass – everything is understandable. A much more intriguing situation arises when you do not use the car much and you often have to pour the washing machine. An experienced car owner, noticing the suspiciously rapid evaporation of liquid from the tank, will first look under the belly of a stationary car: we all know that miracles do not happen – it must flow out somewhere!
Sometimes this approach helps. In not very young cars, regardless of make and model, the pipes and seals of the window cleaning system sometimes break. In such cases, the car owner notices drops from the engine crankcase protection, or somewhere under the wheel lining, or from the bumper plastic – when a “hole” appears in the “spray” area on the headlight. What to do with such a leak is clear: we dismantle everything that impedes access to the problem area and seal the pipe section.
The only thing that can complicate the application of this algorithm is the persistent wet weather. When traces of leakage cannot be physically detected due to persistent rain or slush. But it happens that the “washer” disappears somewhere, and under the car lies dry and clean asphalt. This is a very unpleasant sign for the car owner. Indeed, in this case, the only way for the insidious liquid is to the passenger compartment.
This is possible for models equipped with a rear window cleaning system – that is, for crossovers, which currently occupy the bulk of the Russian car fleet. The pipe from the pump to the nozzle on the fifth door runs through the cabin. And when it leaks, the fluid accumulates in the body on the floor under the skin. In winter, with a smelly “antifreeze” in the tank, you can tell about the persistent flooding by the strong smell of perfume and isopropyl alcohol. And in the summer, when most drivers use plain water to spray their windows, only a soggy carpet will report problems.
After fixing such a leak, you will have to seriously deal with moisture in the car at least, and at most – with rust, which can cause excess moisture.
