What to Do If the Geely King Kong Windshield Washer Reservoir Is Leaking?

If the Geely King Kong windshield washer reservoir is leaking, it is recommended to replace it immediately as it cannot be repaired. Therefore, the only solution after a leak is detected is to replace it. Below is more information about windshield washer fluid and the reservoir: 1. The car's windshield washer reservoir is located in the engine compartment. In some vehicles, it is positioned behind the headlights, while in others, it is behind the fender. 2. Windshield washer fluid is something every car owner will encounter during vehicle use, as it is used to clean the windshield. 3. When using windshield washer fluid in winter, it is crucial to choose a product with a sufficiently low freezing point. Otherwise, the fluid can easily freeze in cold temperatures. When liquid freezes, its volume expands, which can easily damage the reservoir and cause leaks. If the washer fluid freezes in the nozzle lines, it may lead to pipe bursts.
My own Geely King Kong had a leaking windshield washer fluid reservoir before, which is a common minor car issue. The reservoir is located under the hood, usually a plastic tank, and leaks are often caused by loose connections or cracks in the tank. First, open the hood to inspect the leak point, and use your fingers to check if the fittings are tight. If they're loose, tighten them or temporarily wrap them with tape as an emergency fix. If the water leaks too quickly, the tank might be cracked and need replacement—buying a new one on Taobao for around a hundred bucks and replacing it yourself isn’t hard. Don’t ignore this issue, as insufficient washer fluid affects wiper cleaning of the windshield, leading to poor visibility while driving, which is dangerous. I recommend tackling it over the weekend—DIY repairs save money and give a sense of achievement. Regularly adding cleaning fluid can also prevent freezing cracks.
