[s-cars] Washer fluid leak - it's a big leak!

[Jon Boultinghouse]

Chris, if the water poured out extremely fast, my guess is it's not the
lines unless they are completely severed or a crack in the reservoir itself,
which would also have to be pretty big.  Mine did the same thing about 6
months ago, and it was simply the hose that connects to the bottom of the
reservoir.  It is secured by a rubber gromet, that was, on my S6, dry-rotted
and came lose and wouldn't stay attached to the bottom of the reservoir
nozzle.  I would fill it up, and within 15 seconds be empty, and that is a
big ass reservoir!!  I would bet the farm that you are having the same
problem.  I just pulled it up, and reattached the hose/gromet with some
gasket sealant.   Perfect ever since.
