I noticed on Sunday that my window-wash-water is coming out of the 2 small holes in the water reservoir when I'm doing N'ring laps.

Never noticed it before but I guess it was the same as long as I've been driving there (3 years), so I don't think it's bad or hurts something. Anyway I thought of blocking the holes on top of that reservoir and remove the "blocks" after the day of driving. What do you think?

I recon they are necessary to keep the reservoir from building an underpressure/vacuum ... also, remember, our cars were not built for twisted roads and high speeds ... :lol:

Well it does come near the air filter, so I THINK it MIGHT MAYBE a problem... but maybe not...

Corvettes will spray washer fluid up on the windshield. I quit filling the thing up a long time ago. We've probably got the same parts, so i wouldn't worry about it. Just think of them as tears of joy because you're driving the way you're supposed to

I don't think I'd worry about small amounts of washer fluid getting on your air filter. Won't hurt a thing.
