I went wheeling recently, and everything went well...except as soon as I got back to level ground, I noticed dropping from the driver side rocker area. I examined the fluid, and though it was just dog water from inside the car that may have ran down through the washout plug. When I got back in the car, there was a wiper fluid warning light. I thought that as strange because I had not used the squirts yet. I didn't immediately make the connection between drips from driver side rocker and low wiper fluid, but eventually the light in my head came on and I decided to buy a gallon of distilled water for a leak check. Poured it in, and no leak right away...but after using the squirts to systems check and a short drive from the grocery store home, distilled water leaking from both passenger and driver side rocker areas. The bottle is on the passenger side, and I can't figure out the plumbing without removing inner fender panels and so forth. Yes, it is under warranty, but I'd have to leave Bronco with the dealer for who knows how long...and deal with them having to take off the same panels I would have to. So the question is...anyone else on the forum experiencing the same thing? I suspect it is a matter of the assembly line not connecting a hose someplace all the way, but I am stumped as to why I have a leak on both sides of the car. I know a hose has to run to the rear window, but I have no idea as to where it crosses over.
