I just had mine fixed. My problem was that the fill pipe became brittle and cracked with age. My reservoir tank was actually good, so I replaced it for no reason.

The plastic fill pipe connects to the reservoir somewhere near the bottom, so if it becomes brittle w/ age and cracks, your wiper fluid will leak out of the reservoir tank through the fill hose.

It was a super cheap fix, half hour labor at the shop. Would've been even cheaper if I didn't replace the reservoir, so diagnose properly

My shop told me $150 to fix and that they would have to replace the headlight nozzles.. my headlight nozzles currently don't push out to wash the headlights

Some leaks stem from the seals on the washer tank where the pumps are. Others leak at the fill neck.

As far as those with leaking problems and cold weather package I'm not sure. I never had that option on my car.

Best bet is to fill the tank and open up the fender liner to find where it's leaking. If it doesn't leak from the reservoir then it's somewhere where the lines are pressurized.

Thanks Jeff, I'm definitely gonna start with my nozzles since they don't come out anyways, would be cool too wash my headlights off automatically
