[DML] Re: Windshield washer fluid reservoir

[mnoeltne@xxxx]

Here is a trick that should work on this. Wipe off any fluid that may
have spilled on the threads and any inside the cap, then put a bead of
silicone sealant inside the cap. Screw it down to just where it starts
to free spin, then leave it over night before driving the car. This
should stop the leak. Since silicone sealant will release easily when
you unscrew the cap, you can just pull out the old sealant and re-do it
it each time you fill the washer fluid. Since that is probably only
every 2 or three months, it shouldn't be that much of a hassle since it
only takes an extra 4 or 5 minutes each time. It will require a little
planning so that you can leave the car sit at least overnight to allow
the sealant to cure.

Just a thought.
