Default Meth leaking problem

Having a meth leaking problem. Meth is leaking from the reservoir where the windshield washer motor plugs into the resevor. Is that motor useful considering that the meth motor is used for pumping? Anybody else having similar problem?

Should be an easy fix with a new seal assuming no cracks. You won't be able to run your windshield washer if you remove and pump.

I have meth on my 2017. The problem I have is what happens if you tune for meth and have a meth failure? For now I've got a tune that is fine with meth off. With meth on I loose a little power. I had a larger nozzle and tuned for meth. It made power gains but then I felt unsafe. Went to a smaller nozzle and tuned for one tune. Had to dilute my -20 washer fluid with water to accommodate one tune for both. But my hope is in warmer weather the meth will improve power by having a cooler mixture.

Im using meth but in my case the meth pump decided to leak , so , I have to replace that this spring . In your case , I would assume a new seal kit would fix it , or , if your never going to use the windshield washer again , maybe remove the pump and put a bung in its place .
