Hi,
One headlamp washer ( LH ) continues to leak following use, quite quickly draining the washer fluid tank and causing the warning message to appear on dash.
Is the solution possibly simply the one- way valve at the washer head that needs replacing, or something more complicated?
Will the front bumper need to be removed to access the washer system , even if only the one- way valve is the issue?
The headlamp washers seem to be working well apart from the leaking issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
 
Seriously - just cycle it a few times.
I had the exact same issue, and I happened to use the washers one day and it stopped. basically, the seals get furred up if they're not used, so cycling them a few times should clear out any gunk causing leaks.
If that doesn't work, then Yes, you have to remove the bumper to get at the hoses and such. It's an easy enough job if you're not afraid of a bit of spannering - look on the Pelican Parts website for an excellent guide on how to remove and replace the bumper.
