Leaking Washer Bottle

[Havok316]

Anybody have this problem before where you put in water in the bottle and it just leaks? I came back from holiday water bottle empty topped it up and had a river under my car after using 10 litres of water lol. Anybody know where it might be broken? split?

Check the seal on the bottle where the pump is plumbed in.

I recently had my 60k service and water pump changed is there a connection here?

also, check the connector on the line itself, mine was leaking from here
got a new connector for about 10p and put a bit of tape round just to be safe
jobs a gooden

is it easy to get to? I herd i may have to remove the bottle which possibly requires taking the wing off?

yes, its just directly inbetween the carbon canister and the head itself, look in the middle and you will see 2 of them, 1 for front and 1 for rear
