You need to pull your horn button and jam a screwdriver as far as you can push really hard. And if the fluid is touching the end of the screwdriver you're having worst problems then I can help you with.

You mean it won't hold air anymore? Geez, that's not good at all! Speaking of air, that reminds me, it's getting to be time to let all the winter air out your tires, and replace it with summer air.

I'm thinking about installing a speedometer cable ratio reducer, to get my speedometer to tell the correct MPH. Hah! Jokes on you, speedometer cable ratio reducers actually exist!

It's more likely halogen leaking from the headlight when they're closed...

It's an atmospheric pressure thing, you need to drive faster to get more air under the car

If there were ever a car that could leak blinker fluid, the Corvette would be that car.
