Default Lexus IS models Washer Fluid Leakage

Okay, so I just bought a 2007 IS350 and it started to leak Washer Fluid! Any ideas on to how much it would cost to fix?

Also it came with the ML sound system with crackling noise in the back subwoofer! Any fixes?

Where is the fluid leaking from, and are you sure it is washer fluid? Check your hoses that lead from the washer tank to the nozzles. I haven't seen a replacement tank anywhere other than from Lexus and haven't priced one. If you live in a cold climate and someone filled the tank with water it could have frozen and cracked the tank. If the leak is at the pump, you can get one off Rockauto or Amazon for less than $20. It might also leak around the fluid level sensor which is also available aftermarket for less than $50.

As for the ML system, you say crackling noise. Is it a blown speaker sound or just static? Does it increase with volume?

Yes I am sure it is the washer fluid because the screeb indicator above the gauges says "Low Washer Fluid" so I bought some and added it to the Reservoir and it started going down little by little and after I drove home from the store it was complete down. The guy I bought it from might have added water and he did live in the Midwest which is where I live. And it's pretty cold up here during the winter. Anyways it leaks from the bottom.
As for the ML system it's a blown speaker!

Sounds like you need a new sub... Happens a lot on 06 - 08 models. Some people have repaired it most have replaced.
