Windshield washer fluid dripping
Hello,
I own a 01 C320 with 5K miles on it. Yes, it is a garage queen. I live very close to where I work & I have a cheap little Toyota I drive back & forth & especially if any bad weather is in the forcast. I mostly drive it on the weekends as a treat for myself. Unfortunately, Mercedes judge servicing by either miles or clock. I have already had my service A at something like 2,500 mi & today I took it in for service B at 5K miles. When I spoke with the service dept. I told them all it really needed was an oil change & reset the computer. They said due to warranty etc it needed service B. It's a new car, it doesn't need anything. Anyway I was at the dealership at 7:30 AM, first one there, 9AM and my car is still in the parking lot. Why did I have to be there at 7:30? Anyway I got my car & away I go. This evening I had the garage door up & noticed a puddle under my left wheel well. Windshield washer fluid is dripping down the plastic wheel well, I cannot see where it leaking from though?? Is there an overflow on this?? I just don't know what this service monkey could have done or why my windshield washer fluid needed to be screwed with anyway since the car has never been in the rain. Anyway I will be calling the service dept tomorrow but I appreciate this site & you all for letting me vent. Sometimes I think I should just sell it for $30K and invest the $. Any ideas on what my windshield washer's resevior problem could be would be appreciated. Thanks gang
