washer fluid leak by wiper arm
I frequently notice what I believe are a few drops of washer fluid in the cowl area by the passenger wiper arm where the washer hose is attached. Is the supply hose replaceable or would I need a new wiper arm (which I have no idea how to replace). Can anyone please shed some light on this for me. Thanks

Replacing neither will make a difference. The fluid pushes out during acceleration. There have been many threads on this forum about it. If it bothers you, there is a one way fluid diode that Ford uses that you can put in the hose. There was a part number given to buy the correct part, but I don't have it handy. I'd go to Google and type in C5 Corvette washer fluid leak, you'll probably come upon it.
PS. All C5's do it to some extent, it's not a broken part causing it.

The fuller the reservoir, the more likely you'll get it. It's just a few drops in the cowl area. It dries and leaves little spots if you don't dry it. I've never had one that didn't.
