[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 1010550, member: 59842"] Job is now complete...new pump and seal from Autozone for $16. I removed the top fender bolt that holds a cruise control unit bracket, thus allowing me to move the cruise control unit out of the way. The difficult part was disconnecting the electrical. After that I could see the dripping coming from the motor. After getting the fluid tank empty, and disconnecting the electrical, I gently rocked the pump motor while pushing/pulling the motor toward the firewall. My son removed the pump rubber seal from the tank since he has smaller fingers. Installing the new pump I trimmed about 1/4" from the small hose going out to the discharge jets to ensure a tight seal to the pump discharge line. I know that wasn't my leak problem, and there are some "ports" at the bottom of the pump motor. I use my windshield washer all the time, but I don't know if it would have worked when I found the leak since I didn't operate the vehicle. [/QUOTE]
