Where is my windshield washer fluid going???
I fill up my tank. Car spends most of the time in the garage with a vinyl floor. I don't see any leaks, but it's always empty after a couple of weeks. I never use it. Where is it going????

If you bought it used, you may have to add meth to your sig. Any hoses you are not sure of?

Maybe it leaks but is trapped somewhere until you move.

I noticed a lot of fluid leaks out of the reservoirs when you brake. I watched a tech testing my brakes and when he slammed on the brakes, fluid started pouring out around the front wheel wells.
