2021 BS Badlands, washer fluid leak/routing diagram.

[OrangeJoe]

Hey everyone.

So a few weeks ago I noticed my washer fluid was draining very quickly and I must have a leak.

I parked in a dry spot, and after an hour or so I had a small buildup of liquid underneath the rear, driver side wheel well.

I was thinking to just try and repair it myself and started looking at parts and diagrams.

This is what brings me here today. The washer fluid schematics I've found look as though the fluid is routed through the passengers side. This seems a bit strange since I'm seeing the leak in the drivers side.

Is it possible the routing is on the drivers side? Or does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'll attach the diagram.

Thanks all.

Did you confirm the liquid is washer fluid? It's possible the fluid has nothing to do with the washer system. It's also possible the leak is near the nozzle and the fluid is draining toward the driver's side. Finding fluid leaks based on the puddle location has always and forever been problematic.

Fairly positive it was washer fluid as it was the same purple color.

But if this is a problematic way to find the leak, maybe I'll just take it in to get looked at! Was just trying to save the $$$


Thanks for the insight.

Hey Orange Joe, the hose routing does go through the passenger side just forward of the wheel well. I confirmed this when I took the front fascia and grill assy off to mount an aftermarket Bull Bar to the front frame. The hose shouldn’t go to the right side but the leaking fluid may travel to the drivers side before exiting?
Thanks for the awesome routing diagram!
