Hello, I know of no product capable of a long lasting repair. You might be able to seal it on the outside with some sort of epoxy but a better fix would be to replace it with a new reservoir bottle. To remove it you need to unbolt that skinny brace above the battery and remove the battery and unbolt the top bolts of the washer reservoir. CAUTION, if you have the THEFTLOCK radio be sure to disable it before removing the battery cables. Set the parking brake and chock the rear wheels. Loosen the lug nuts on the driver's side wheel just enough to break them loose and jack up the driver's side and place a jack stand on a solid part of the frame, remove the driver's side wheel. Remove the inner wheel liner to give you access to the bottom reservoir bolts and pump, disconnect the electrical connector and unbolt the pump motor and washer reservoir, then slide it down and out, being careful of the small tube that carries the fluid to the wipers. Installation is the reverse, good luck and if you have any other questions don't hesitate to send a comment.

2007 Chevy equinox windshield wiper fluid goes to the back window when I push the front windshield wiper, but



"If the windshield wiper fluid of your Chevy Equinox ends up on the rear window instead of the windshield, there could be several possible causes:

Damaged or incorrectly connected windshield wiper fluid tube: The tube that carries the windshield wiper fluid from the reservoir to the base of the front windshield wiper may be damaged or not connected properly, causing the fluid to leak elsewhere.

Clogged windshield wiper fluid outlet: The outlet of the windshield wiper fluid on the base of the front windshield wiper may be clogged with dirt or debris, causing the fluid to flow onto another part of the car, such as the rear window.

Windshield wiper system issues: There may be a problem with the windshield wiper system of your Chevy Equinox that causes the fluid to leak onto other parts of the car instead of the windshield."

2001 Ford Focus SES EVAC Leak and Periodic Wiper Problem

Check the hose that comes out of the intake manifold to the pipe that goes to the PCV valve. It gets soft, leaks and will collapse. It has a clamp on it at the manifold be careful as the manifold is plastic. Check while it is running. Common problem.

1999 F150 WIndshield wipers, dome light and side window controls not working

i just had the same problem with my f 150 ( 1999), my wipers, washer fluid pump, dome light, door chime stopped, I went thur the manuals, Checked appropated fuses, even changed wiper motor, (nothing worked) out of much internet checking, talking to mechanics, I got frustrated, I started pulling all the fuses under the dash,, I pulled # 15 ,a 5 amp fuse, which has nothing to do with the wipers eletronics, it was a good fuse, when i put it back in, everything came back and working fine. nearest i can figure it was either loose or a dirty contact.

#15 fuse (5 amps) on my box is for : stop lamp switch,( speed control,brake shift interlock,ABS, pcm module inputs.gem module,RABS test connector)
this was just blind luck, maybe it will help you.
