    Washer tank is leaking. Any easy fix?

    Hi guys,

    I heard this is a common problem with W202 model, Is that true?, My washer tank is leaking and I have not take it out and take a look at the tank. I just want to double check if I should buy a new tank or maybe you guys have any advise to fix this.

    Thanks for the input

    I'm with ^, I would duct tape it if it isn't a big leak.

    it depends where your leak is.. it may be leaking from the rubber grommet that the pump goes thru.. or ur tank could be leaking.. easy fix for the a leaking tank it to seal it with some silicone or something.. if its leaking from the grommet.. replace the grommet.
