09GT500 Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yep, mine had it too('06 w/700miles). I just lowered the level a bit. Hopefully that will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I just checked mine and it is leaking a little. 350 miles on it. The fluit was full (over the max line a bit). I lowered the level. Does any one know if that plastic resivore is suppose to wiggle a little. It seems a bit loose. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lowered mine also, but I went ahead and bought that .55 cent neopreme washer that is suggested in the thread above and installed it. No leaks now in my 07 GT/CS.

Hop Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I lowered mine also, but I went ahead and bought that .55 cent neopreme washer that is suggested in the thread above and installed it. No leaks now in my 07 GT/CS. Rob I have an '06 V6, Pony pkg, auto, not quite 1700 miles on it. I had the leak too. My reservoir was just a tick above full. I lowered the level to 1/2 way between the marks and wiped it all down. Not much of a leak, and not enough to drip and cause paint to peel. We'll see if lowering the level helps. Rob, where did you get the washer? I didn't catch the specifics of the size/diameter and where you get it in the original thread. Hopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, where did you get the washer? I didn't catch the specifics of the size/diameter and where you get it in the original thread. Hopper Hopper: I bought the washer at true value hardware. It looks like a fender washer. It is 1-1/2 inch outside diameter. It is 1/16 of an inch thick. It has a small hole in the center that meaqsures 1/4 inch in diameter. The washer is black and made of neopreme. To Install: remove the factory black cap. Pull out the rubber liner from inside the cap. set the washer in the cap. Re install the factory rubber liner on top of the cap. Put cap back on. You will notice that the cap will fit a little snugger. Good luck. My leak stopped.

Hop Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Not to beat a dead horse (boy that's a bad pun), but the washer may not be necessary. I dropped my fluid level last night to 1/2 way between the min/max marks, and no leaks today. However, if you do a fair amount of hard cornering or aggressive start and go, I think the washer fix is a good idea. Even with the fluid level dropped, I can imagine a bit of sloshing around during aggressive driving would still allow some seepage around the cap.

I did that first, then went and got the washer for extra protection. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
