Window washer tank

Window washer tank
Hello all. Just got my disco 2 back from a full suspension rebuild. That was expensive but now rides like new. I am having a little issue with my window washer fluid. When i go to fill the tank it pours out of the bottom of the rover. Is this a easy look at hose, cracked tank? was just wondering is this something I can look at myself or do I need to take it back in to service. It was working no issues a few days ago so I know the pump is ok.
Thank you for all of the help. Love this forum,
Joe

Based on my experience, the washer tank can deteriorate and become brittle with age. It's possible that whoever was doing the other work on the truck somehow disturbed the tank inducing a crack that was inevitable.
This kind of plastic, for me, is generally long-lived, but in my experience a section of the tank that was exposed for some time to sunlight failed. I don't know if it was the UV rays or just age.
In any event it's all pretty simple plumbing that you should be able to investigate and repair. I replaced the one on my truck with one from a boneyard truck. Good luck.

the tank and the fill pipe are two separate parts. make sure that the leak isn't just the join between the two pieces. i know that mine leaks out of there but i haven't bothered to do anything about it yet because once it leaks down low enough, the reservoir tank itself stays full.
