I have a 2003 93. After losing winshield washer fluid the sid displayed
a message that the windshield washer resevoir was low.  The dealer said
there was a leak in the resevoir and had it replaced.  A few days later
I got the same message after most of the fluid had leaked out.  Any
experiences with this problem?

If it's leaking out that quickly, I'd have thought it'll be leaving
puddles. They should give you a clue as to where the leak is. It could
be from a pipe somewhere in the system as well as the reservoir. Do
all of the washers, including headlight washers if it has any, still
work when it's full?

Cheers,

Colin.

But an '03 is still under warranty so bring it back and make them get it
right.

But if, instead of saying "it's still leaking", you tell them "It's
still leaking from here", you stand a much better chance of having
them actually fix the leak rather than just changing another random
part.

Cheers,

Colin.

All good suggestions.  When the reservoir is full or partially full
everything works as it should.  I'm going to do a more thorough check my
self as to the source of the leak before bringing it back to the dealer.
 And it is still covered under warranty.
