Default Washer bottle leaking

Have my new Terrafirma bumper on and this totally exposes the bottom of the washer bottle, so I decided to troubleshoot it by putting in some water.

Have water dripping from a couple of places. Looks like the back most motor that seems to support the headlight washers (don't need that any more). Another seems to be coming from the front top.

It looks like there is just a bolt on the right side bracket that the bottle is rivited to and a couple of bolts on the left side.

Is taking all that off and dropping it down the best way to get it out?

once out, what is the best way of repairing? Replacing or just silicone the crap out of it?

Default Flex seal!!

This sounds like the perfect application. Paint it black at the same time.

The TF bumper comes with a washer bottle guard. Yours didn't?

Yep, it did. Just haven't installed it yet so I can get to the washer bottle.

What did you do about the lines going to the headlight washers?

Flex seal sounds like a great idea!

I cut the hose about 2" from the pump and plugged it with a short bolt that fit snugly, then put on a very small hose clamp. I also disconnected the electrical connector for the pump.
