Default Leak from Washer Pump

It appears that my washer fluid is leaking out of the weep hole on the bottom of the washer pump. I thought it was a bad seal between the pump and reservoir, but it just runs out from the small hole in the bottom of the pump. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone have a washer pump sitting around?

Do you mean water pump? If so once they leak they need to be replaced.

No, this is definitely the washer fluid pump. I fill up the reservoir and it runs right out in a small stream from the pump. I replaced the seal going into the reservoir, but the leak looks to be from the small hole in the bottom of the pump.

I would say replace the pump then. It should not be very expensive.
