Broken Windshield Fluid Reservoir?
I filled up my reservoir with fluid about 1/4" from the top, put the cap back on and walked away. I noticed that the fluid started to leak from the bottom of where the tank sits. i opened the tank and noticed the fluid was down about 3" now (about where it starts to taper). I stood there a minute to see if it went down some more, but it stoped leaking.
I was wondering if this is normal, like some kind of overfill safety outlet or something. Or is it just cracked. I know this is kinda a weird question, but maybe that's the way Mitsu designed it. Maybe I just don't wanna believe it's a cracked/broken reservoir tank.
Thanks.

I'm sorry for my stupid question but...
Where did you put water? in the reservoir in the engine bay? or in the back of the car?
If you put water in the engine bay area you put water in the intercooler spray reservoir and it is normal to leak water if you put untill the neck.

Or just JB Weld it and you're good to go!!!
Seriously though, go in you're truck and look at the panel on the right. There will be a little picture for the windshield fluid, take that panel out.
