#1 of 3 Washer fluid leaking and soaking interior carpet by 02hghland Jul 01, 2008 (2:42 am)
On Friday I went to Jiffy lube and had my oil changed and fluids topped off because I was going on a road trip. Well on Saturday morning (during the road trip) I noticed that the floor on the driver side was saturated. Originally it was thought that it was the heating core, however only the washer fluid is low... I am going back to Jiffy lube today for them to inspect, but since it's only the washer fluid leaking, should I be worried about the heating core?

Replying to: bdyment (Jul 01, 2008 8:37 am) Thanks for the info! When I turned on the sprayer, yesterday I had water leaking from under the front fender. I also have the rear window where washer fluid comes out, and it looks like a hose runs under the carpet from the front to the rear window. So I have no idea! Thanks again!
