Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz S550 owners report experiencing washer fluid leaks from the left side, which may be related to a damaged reservoir, faulty hoses, or a broken pump. These leaks can lead to warning lights on the dashboard, reduced visibility, and puddles under the vehicle, indicating a need for prompt attention. Owners are advised to inspect the windshield washer fluid lines and ensure the pump operates when the sprayer switch is pressed to identify the source of the leak accurately. If the issue is traced back to a damaged reservoir, faulty hoses, or a broken pump, appropriate repairs or replacements may be necessary. Additionally, some owners find it essential to check or replace the grommet holding the pump into the bottle to resolve the leakage issue effectively.
