2013 GLK water leak?

My car is leaking fluid at the left side in front of the tire. Took it to the dealership to have it checked out. Only 2 wks and I get this? Disappointed.

Wouldn't be another case of the "renown" Windshield washer tank leak? Note: https://mbworld.org/forums/glk-class...sher-tank.html,
and: https://mbworld.org/forums/glk-class...tank-leak.html.

This being an ongoing story on an German forum as well, one poster now bringing in his GLK for a secon replacement.

does sound like the washer fluid. Happened to mine this week (2010 with 40,000kms). Was driving and the washer light came on. Though that was weird cause i havn't used it in months. Filled it up in the evening and come morning, a puddle near the front left tire. Havn't had time to bring it in. >_<

Are you sure it's not condensation from the A/C?

It's been a hot summer...

What H2O would the GLK or for that matter any auto carry?

I had a windshield fluid low sensor go off last week....bought a gallon of windshield wiper fluid tonight...put in 1/4 gallon...no problem, so I keep on adding more. All of a sudden, from under the car, my windshield wiper fluid come streaming out. So what's the issue with the tank? Bad design?

There were problems with the tanks developing cracks.
