2012 glk350 WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID LEAK

I had my oil changed and the next day I noticed a lot of windshield washer fluid under the car on the driver side. Not sure if the oil change disrupts this area but has anyone else experienced this leak? Is it an easy fix. Car is out of warranty and I am capable of doing repairs myself. I do not believe this was a freeze problem since it is August on the east coast. Thanks

Welcome Bring it back to where you had the oil change and ask them if they did anything OF course they will say no but they may tell you what they found is wrong

Welcome to MBWorld. I agree, try bringing it back and letting them know that you noticed this after the service. Otherwise, might be able to get under the car and try to track down where the source of the washer fluid leak is coming from and then go from there.

2011 GLK 350
I had the same symptom of fluid on the ground after service of my 2011 GLK 350. But it's been 3 weeks already, I guess the dealer won't care too much then? Is it common as an inferior part?
I just bought it as CPO last October and did the 1st service.

Had mine replaced before warranty expired. I think you can DIY this as I noticed that the windshield wiper bottler was readily accessible once you remove the front driver wheel and fender liner.

Here is a DIY for the W204 that shows how to partly remove the fender liner. Very similar for the X204.

Good luck!
