I always used washer fluid in my 03 so it wouldnt freeze but it did leak all over the ground when I filled it. It seemed like you could only fill it 3/4 of the way. If I remember correctly though you couldnt really see the tank so I just filled till it overflowed and then watched some of it leak out. oh well.

As mdesi said, use washer fluid to prevent freezing in the winter, that reservoir design is not my favorite, as its kind of trial and error to fill (when it starts spilling you know its full). The IX dropped the sprayer since the hydraulic reservoir for the dif. occupies that real estate. On a hot summer day, for us 8's the sprayer is bound to provide at least a small benefit to intercooler.

The fill line and the overflow tube is well below the top of the reservoir. If you fill the reservoir to the top it will run out of the overflow tube until the fluid level is at the fill line.
