Friends:


I came into the garage housing my '98 XK8 and found a little pool of blue water underneath the drivers side headlight housing. At first I suspected coolant but it was the wrong color. Then I remembered the goofy headlight washer and suspected that a leak in this system might be the culprit. I looked it up in JTIS and I think that is where the washer pump in located anyway hiding inside the wheel well. Any experience out there re-sealing things in there to hold the fluid in place?

No experience re-sealing one, but the washer bottle is in the forward part of the left front wheel well.

It's pretty easy to get to and the headlight washer motor is just in a rubber bung, nothing fancy. If that's leaking, a little RTV will probably fix it right up.
