water tank (i think)

hi guys, i have a standard saxo which leaks fairly heavily from where i put the water for the wipers. i cant see exactly what the problem is without taking part of the body away, whether its a hole or something thats disconnected i dont know. just wondering if this has happended before to anyone?? ive debated getting a new tank (if it is that) but if its just a llose pipe or something maybe its pointless?

Mine does it when I fill it right up, i've come to the conclusion that it's either the seal between the neck and bottle (it does unscrew), or there's a hole in the top of my bottle.

If it's the seal between neck and bottle it could either be tightened, or some sealant could be put into place surely?

i looked at that, but its minimal amounts. the water for the back window isnt working either, thought it was maybe separate tanks for each window. when the water goes in its drizzling out the bottm then drips, making it as if the water is emptying before it can go on the back window. thanks for the advice on the seal, will probably get some stuff for that to solve it, and if not rule it out

I also had a problem with my rear washer, all it took in the end for me was to clear out the nozzle and pipe. I pulled the nozzle off with some pliers, ran some water through the pipe (just ran the rear wash as normal), and soaked the nozzle then pushed out the junk with a pin, refitted and it worked fine.

it is the same tank for the front and back washers
