2006 Camry windshield washer fluid disappearing

[Nicu]

The windshield washer fluid level on my 2006 Camry keeps falling about 0.5 inch per day even without using it, no pool of fluid found under the car, don't know if there's a leak or if the fluid is just evaporating from the tall, thin filler neck. Anyone else noticed this?

I notice that too.......i used to think it was just that there was air in the tank under it and escaping making appear like there is less?

There are two choices friend, 1. The tank is leaking or 2. Your friends are punking you with a practical joke. The fluid quite obviously MUST be going somewhere, maybe the leak is so small it doesnt drip on anything?
I'd remove the bottle and put it in a bucket or container then brace it so it doesnt fall over somehow and fill it with something, water the obvious choice. And then check it the next day, if the bucket has water in just change the tank.

Fill the reservoir with washer fluid and check the level daily and see how it's doing, I will do the same. I myself think that it's either leaking or evaporating.

there has to be an area where the water is escaping..

toyota developed a fluid absorbing tank. they did this to help the washer fluid companies!

but seriously, try to feel around the area if possibe (i dont know how gen 5's are desgined), and see if its wet anywhere.

It is not evaporating! It is leaking somewhere.

I must be missing something here. It's a 2006. It should still be under warranty. Take it back to the dealer and let them know of the problem. They will probably just order you a new tank and put it in. I doublt whether they would stock the tank.

Well, I thought that the washer fluid was evaporating from the thin filler neck. I also wanted to see if other Camry owners have experienced the same problem and what was done about it.

OK. I didn't mean to make my post sound like I was jumping on you. I just wanted to offer some advice. Sorry if you took offense.
