The other week I found a whole bottle of wilko screenwash which someone had kindly left me in the carpark. I therefor claimed it and brimmed my bottle.
I went to my car earlier to find blue icicles coming from my bumper to the floor. They seem mostly to be coming from the flat section of the arch lining.
Is it likely that the bottle has split or a pipe has come off?
Can I avoid removing the lining as its a ball ache?
Thanks

I brimed it to the neck and didn't use it and when i lookedthe neck was empty. no sign of leakinging from there. Just down off the bumper. it looks like the car is melting.

Exactly what mine does. I've never fixed it just take more trips to the tap.

has the O ring halfway down snapped? causing it to leak at the joint (about 8 inches down from the top).
i recently had to replace it on the 206 (again).

do you mean where the pipe removes so you can access the headlight?

It has a separate neck that attaches to the main reervoir of the screen wash as Antknee said it isnt water tight and sometimes needs a wiggle to realign it better....I once thought my car was melting too!!haha
