Ya'll...
last night when replacing the driver's side, front, upper control arm, in an attempt to loosen the rear nut under the master cylinder, I reached down along side the shock tower, sorry...strut tower and realized that some fluid was draining on the ground! That fluid turned out to be from the windshield washer and upon further inspection realized that I'd disturbed the washer tubing and some sort of 'connector'. This is where the confusion begins...
This connection was very brittle, I guess from years of being near the exhaust manifold, sooo...I seem to remember reading somewhere that there's a valve that keeps the washer fluid from siphoning out from the reservoir. Is this the valve or just a butt connection for the tubing? Of course the old one is somewhere in hyperspace under the master cylinder and was unable to retrieve it for futher inspection. Anyone have similar experience with this? Any help or info that you may have would be greatly appreciated, I'd like to avoid the trial and error approach! This subject is not in my chilton manual and needs further explanation. Thanks in advance.
