Washer fluid thank goodness
Hey guys i took the car out today and pushed the button for the headlight washer. I heard something but did nt pay it no mind. Pulling out the garage i saw alot of fluid on the ground. My first thought was oh my God antifreeze!!!!! I looked closer and thank goodness it wasnt all the washer fluid was flowing out from the passenger side of front bumper. My question is there a hose that connect from the reservior to a nosel that could have broken. I do not think the washer tank broke because i was not moving when this happen. I tried to look under the bumper but could not see anything any suggestions ? thanks guys

I hate to be a douche here, but of course there is a hose, it doesn't get there by teleportation.
perhaps you have a loose clamp or a broken hose. No biggie. Usually the easiest way to get in is through the wheelwell.

I had this exact thing happen on my 02S500. The washer fluid feeder hose didn't rupture, just came off of the fitting. Snapped back on.
Funnier was when the driver's side washer nozzle launched during a headlight was. Was stationary and testing the nozzle and off she went. Again, just snapped it in and it was good to go. I know it will happen eventually when travelliing down the highway.

I took my flash light and saw the fitting out and fluid flowing. I will get my tools and loose the bottom panel underneath and snap it back in hopefully that will work. Thanks this forum is a big help.
