My 99 slk 230 windshield washer is leaking everytime I fill it. How do I get to it to repair/replace the darn thing?

Leak is usually at join of filler tube to bottle........

This is a pic from one of Bazzle's threads that shows how he resealed the join.......

Remove the plastic, right side fender shield to get at it.

Do you have headlight washers? I had a leak there. Look at the floor then under the car to discover the location of the leak before you start taking things apart - it may save some time and effort.

the leak is at the rear of the wheel well opening.

I had that too. It was a rubber gasket for the motor. There are two of these IIRC.
