Recently replaced the grommet due to constant leak, would drain in a day or 2.
Pump still fine after 235K miles, but a little slow to work after pushing the button,
wipers make a couple back and forths before any liquid comes out...
I had thought the tank was damaged somehow and purchased the whole tank from
picknpull, but seems it's just the grommet. Also, the intake to the pump can get clogged if you are running tap water. There's a youtube video on that, and the grommet replacement, and i posted the grommet pn's in a separate thread on the 203 forum.
