Recently purchased a 2000 s430. My friend decides to press every button, of them the headlamp washers. After depressing the button, all of the fluid ends up in the parking lot. I refilled it, and it seems that all of the fluid goes out onto the curb soon after I fill it up. Anyone have any idea where the problem is?
Thanks!

Check the fluid lines from the bottom of the washer tank to the pop-ups themselves. Likely that a line has come off or has split.

Also, check the pop-up washers themselves; the heads have been known to separate.

yup, same thing skylaw said and also depending on the area of the spilliage, it could also be the washer tank grommet.

I just fixed mine 2 weeks ago... I replaced both left and right headlight washer "T" heads. You can't buy just the nozzle thats why, $30 a piece. I also replaced the grommets which is like a couple of dollars then I also replace the windshield washer pump...slow leak there...thanks to all the help from dtxmob.

Thanks!
