Archived from groups: alt>trucks>chevy (more info?)

My 2002 Suburban 1500 4x4 windshield wash reservoir is leaking. The
Haynes DIY manual conveniently does not include this particular job.

It appears to me that I probably have to get at it by removing the
battery and battery shelf, and remove the tank from the top.

I thought I'd check the group to see if this is correct or not, and
roughly how long it should take, before I start this. Any 'been there,
done that' advice would be appreciated.
TIA,
HH

I can't help you with your specific vehicle on how to remove your
reservoir. But I can tell you that 99% of the time, the leak is the
rubber gromet around one of the pumps. Sometimes the pump itself. The
gromets can be purchased seperately at NAPA if needed.

It is hard to see it until I take it apart, but that does look like it
may be the problem. Now I just need to get to it.
Thanks for the reply

This will be about as useful as a pig on ice, but on my Dodge
van, a 13/16 spark plug socket on a LONG extension will get down
into the washer fluid tank and tighten the gasket.
