Hey Guys-
I was hoping someone might be able to offer up some insight with regard to my leaking washer fluid. I believe this is common on the 210 series. I replaced the rubber grommets a few months back on the main reservoir and secondary, it held up great for a month or so and then started leaking again. I noticed one of the grommets was different from the original part when I got them, I was informed by the dealership it had been updated. I felt the updated grommet which I believe was for the main reservoir did not fit snug enough, but it did seem to hold the fluid for over a month before the temps got quite low here in VA.
I want to try replacing them again with the original grommets if they are still available, if someone could help me out it would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I had 2 cracks in mine and instead of coughing up a bunch of money for a new one that I couldn't find the sense in doing, I went and picked up some plastic jb weld and worked perfectly. It's been 2 years and still holding great! Jb weld is some ghetto stuff but it works for situations like this lolOriginally Posted by RPB

It may not be the reservoir or the pump grommets. Check all the hose connections for the headlight washing system. I had to run all new hose on mine.
