Smile Windshield water leak.

I just recently purchased my 350z on cragislist. When I checked it out he didnt have any windshield wiper water so I thought I just had to go home and fill it up. Went home, bought a whole bottle poured it in, found out all the water escaped from the bottom of the car. It's like my car's water broke, literally. Anyone had to this happen to them before? Or do I have to go to a mechanic. The water is coming from the bottom of the car, it's like its leaking from around the catalytic converter but I'm not too sure. Also dumb question, how do I use my rear windshield lmao. Like I read the manual, it looks like you switch the windshield back rather than forward. I tried it doesn't work. Or I'm prob just stupid. Appreciate all help thanks haha.

yeah, just pull the stalk back for the rear ( I think)...just play with it.

for the leak, sounds like a hose is craked/damaged. just fill it and take a closer look.

Did you get an owner's manual with your Z? Both the front and rear wiper pumps use the same plastic reservoir (which is hidden behind the PS fender well near the bumper). It's more likely the part that's damaged and leaking.

BTW- I have a used one FS if you're interested. PM me if interested.
