Title: I did a fluid top up yesterday & all I can smell is windscreen wash!
Post by: KingyMAK on August 14, 2017, 08:57:30 PM
I've done a fluid too up and pollen filter change, but now all I smell is windscreen wash fluid!
It's not the rear wiper joint that's leaking either, as that's been repaired.
It smells outside slightly, too.

Are there any common leaking places before I tear it apart tomorrow after work?

Passenger footwell, is the carpet wet?

Nah, like I said, I've already repaired the wiper joint mate.

Check the joints on scuttle trim in case you dislodged one and it's leaking by pollen filter

Just let it evaporate then spray a bit of Febreeze in the car and change your brand of screen wash or water it down a bit
