Default Found out why my volcano was erupting every other month. (Low washer fluid.)

I don't mind filling the thing with water. Pretty straight-forward DIY. Just trying to determine whether or not it's worth fixing. I've seen the post in the tech section.

From the top.

Leaks down the side and drips from the bottom.

Default I can't quite tell if it's the reservoir or pump leaking.

Either way it should be a quick DIY...just replace the part. Used parts from Shokan or someone should be quite adequate.

Default Usually it's the grommet holding the pump in the reservoir. Si caulk....

will fix it, but a PITA to remove and get to it.
