Had a slow and steady leak from where the HID pump sits in the washer bottle for a while.
Stripped it down, cleaned it all up, put it back together, and leaks like before, if not a little more.
very hard to see exactly where as access is tight, but does seem to be either from under the grommit, or under the pump.
any one got any good tips to stop it?
silicone sealer on each bit? new grommit?

What is Wallace going to say? ;D
Sorry it's of no use to you but I had to do it. :y
-
new gromit i would say, exploded TIS diagram show it, wonder if you can order it on its own from Vx.
You might need to take the pump out at some stage, so silicone maybe not best idea :-/
-
probably, silicone not so strong you cant pull it off, cleaning up again would be tricky though
-
got to pop to vaux before long anyway, so may try a new grommit - part no 90053056

Mine has also leaked (badly recently I think due to ice action. Had no problems with all my vehicles in recent winters but this one's been extra bad - my kept-on-drive Vectra's rear badges and wing mirror glasses have all dropped off due to ice and snow. So am planning to get a new bottle for my Omega off Ebay for about a tenner - e.g.

I'm pretty sure your bumper will have to come off to get to the bottle :-?
