Default Leaking Rear Windsheild Wiper Fluid

Every time I accelerate hard I look back to see a little fluid running down from the rear windsheild sprayer. I doesn't happen under normal driving conditions and always happens when i push the car a little.

Its just a pain in the *** because i get a water mark below where the wiper can't reach.

Any help would be great.

best advice is to live with it or drain all the fluid out. It will never stop doing that.

That's why I stopped using my rear washer - so the tube would dry up and water would stop dribbling out.

I tried to get the dealer to fix it but they couldn't reproduce it. After I thought about it, I didn't want one of those guys driving my Z hard enough to get the leak to happen.

First off my car does the same thing and by pushing it a little I believe that to be a fib. I have to take off WOT spin second and chip third and then I look back and my runs down the back also. I think your pushing the car a bit more then you say. Just my thought.

Huh? This is my second Z and I've never noticed this once. Not in my 2005, and not in my current 2003. I guess I'll be watching my rear view mirror more often after WOT.
