may not be important lol, but to me it is. i have no oil leaks, no coolent leaks , cars in tip top shape...and today i noticed a leak , the wind-shield resivor is leaking i tried to find the leak and all leads lead me to where the fuse/nipple meet(on the bottom of resivor) and i even took out the rubber gasket to see if its tore and nope. whats going on here ? maybe it is cracked and i cant see it

 

um it's leaking, sometimes they do that

 

no need to be sarcastic here buddy...

its a very small leak not even noticeable at times...so maybe you are right....

 

Im not trying to be, but it's leaking what do you want to hear? go to the yard and get one and drop it in,problem fixed, it's a plastic tank, if you can figure out how to fix a seal then try to fix it, but it's easier to just swap it out

 

^ $10 fix.

 

i dont really want to use something from the junk but if it comes down to it

 

how so...is the rubber that sealed at the bottom connecting the fuse and hose going out?

 

there's not a thing wrong with a used washer tank,sure cheaper then a new dealer part

 

i went out side jacked up the car and i cleaned it dry then laid there for a second and poked at it and it started to leak from what you see in this picture, theres no crack and the rubber is fine...

 

So buy a new one. I don't know what you're expecting from a 15 year old part.

 

1.whats the name of that part @grumblemarc
the resivor isnt cracked so i can just buy that circle thing buy it self? its the thing the hose is connected too

 

No. Buy a new reservoir.
Or, at the very least, pull it and take it apart and see WHY it's leaking.

 

On a 15 year old car the yard is your friend. You can also check ebay and other places online,put an add in the classifieds here,someones got one on a parts car

 

going out side right now to take the thing off and figure out why its leaking

 

i could not figure it out, it looks fine the water travels threw it fine, so idk im not going to replace the whole resivor ill find this one piece i need from the junk or from someone as mentioned . aslong as it works tho

 

someone here should have one plenty of people have shells around and lots of extra parts, I threw one away a few months ago, sold the civic a while back and it wasn't useful for anything to me . If I had known you could have just had it

 

yea thanks lostforawile. i appreciate your help

 

Wow you are worthless. You spend almost an hour trying to figure out why a tank is leaking but won't go to the junk yard to get a replacement? What is a tank's job? To hold a liquid, and keep it there without leaking. If you find one in the junk yard, and it does that job, then clean it up and drop it in, and call it a day. No need to fuss about it. Everyone here is right, just pay 2 bucks to get in the junk yard and grab that muhfucka out of another Civic. Shouldn't be too hard.

 

If you get a replacement save your old pump, sometimes a pump will go out

 

first dont type to me like you know me, second i my windshield reservoir isnt cracked . so why the hell go threw the hassle of replacing when i can just buy a new pump.

already got one .cheers
