Windshield Washer fluid Leaking or Overfilled?

Ninjaoz · 07-29-2012, 06:09 AM

Hi All

Just had my car serviced this week and noticed windshield washer liquid leaking on my E70 X5. It doesn't leak whilst stationary, only happens after driving for 2-3mins.

I rung the dealer and they advised me it leaks because the mechanic had overfill it. Apparently it is a BMW design to drain any extra fluid, should go away after a while.

Is this true or are they just BS?

Cheers
Leon

I was told the same thing when I first got my 335i and it did go away after a little while.

Mine is leaking too just a few days later after I had it in at the steelership. Is there an O-ring replacement for the pumps at the washer fluid tank?
