Windshield Washer Fluid Disappearing

Okay, I have been ignoring this issue for some time now and decided to see if any of you are experiencing the disappearance of windshield washer flluid in the two reserviors on an "S". I am continuing to refill the reserviors ever so often and I have not been using my wipers, front or back and the fluid just disappears or evaporates which I have no idea how evaporation could be happening if the tanks are not exposed to the outside.
Anyone have any thoughts on this except for Moston cause I know what kind of smart a_ _ remarks I would get back from madcow

Mike,
Have you inspected the car for a leak? Also, are there any stains or water marks on the bonnet near the jets? Pressure could be building up causing it to leak out slowly through the jets. Just a thought!

Hi Chris,
No visual marks on the bonnet or underneath the car it just seems to disappear or evaporate into the unknown biss.

Well, I suppose you could always see if Costco has it in a 55 gallon drum.

Almost makes me wonder if there is a small leak in the tanks and they just evaporate into the air

Hi Mike,
Glad to hear from you......even if it's just to solve your problems.
There's a phenomanon that only occurs in Oklahoma and Texas with vehicle fluids at highway speeds..........no, I'm just filling in for mOstyn with a smart ass answer.
No idea where your fluid's going.....come on out and see us.....but only if you bring Jodi with you this time...
