Windshield Washer Reservoir Leak at Sensor.

[Leaky88]

Mine leaks where barb enters tank.
Can the grommet be replaced, if so where might I find replacement.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks Leaky

Might try removing the rubber grommet and then use a bit of sealant like seal-all or silicone (light amounts). Then reassemble and see if that works. If the rubber is truly gone and rotten then you might have to hit the part number books in the article section hunt down the part number for it and then do a web search for that part number and see what pops up.

I'd try local hardware store to find new rubber washer, I got three different o-ring assortment kits and have used round ones were flat ones were needed and it worked.

Some of the hardware store have a good amount of weird things like rubber grommet and o-rings. You might try even NAPA stores some them have grommets and o-rings as well.

It might be the bottle itself, it can be hard to tell. I messed with mine (grommet) but didn't fix it. Changed out the bottle and fixed it. It came with both grommets.

NIsaacs,

Thanks.

I got it from Rock Auto for $15.57 (CH1288112) but I see they have raised the price, maybe a different vendor.

Looks like Leaky has a leaky. Mine is leaking too. I believe from the same area. Just cant seem to get to it. My lawn mower is getting all of the attention lately. Almost done on it though.

dripley,

That's good!  Should have known that was coming.    

[dripley]

That was a hard one to pass on.

I held myself back on that one with all the will power I had

I wonder if Leakys leak goes drip drip drip like mine. 

[Leaky88]

it’s all good. 

If something is not dripping from these diesels, the engine should not be turned over.

 

I have not timed the duration, but it appears to be a drip, a pause, a drip, vice drip,drip, drip.

 

 I just want the fluid level to drip below sensor so I can examine/replace the grommet.  If I pull the sensor now, it will go gush, gush, gush, and Ill go cuss, cuss, cuss.
