4th Generation 1997 Removing and repairing leaking washer bottle

Apologize if this should come up on an easy search of the forum but no luck for me.

Found that washer bottle must be leaking and see that some use epoxy to fix. Don't mind trying that first but may just get another one and change.

However, what is the process to remove the washer bottle? I presume somehow from underneath. Did a quick look in the Haynes manual and did not see right away either.

Thanks for the help!

If you can access the leak without removing it, you should just epoxy it back from there. It will hold up stronger than a new one will.

Just make sure you sand the area well, and don't be stingy with the epoxy!

that's not a leak, that's a HOLE! LOLz. - you should bust a DIY..

to the OP, there is no easy way to remove it really- i had to forcefully remove mines even when the bolts are already off.. with that said, take out the front bumper and use JB weld- and call it a day!

I have same issue in my 95 Camry. Anyone found out how to remove the wiper liquid tank?


Found a partial solution. The supply line was getting kinked near the hinge of car hood. Fixed it. See how long it goes.........
