Getting a periodic "squirt" from my 348

Hey Gang,
I've got a 90 348 TS and have peridically gotten "squirts" from my driver side wiper. It's only happened a few times, only when the car is at temperature, and it throws about a dozen droplets onto the windshiled. Any thoughts?

 

Look at item #21 in the diagram, it's the "nonreturn valve" for the windshield washer system. It's located right next to the washer fluid tank under the right-side removeable panel in the trunk.

Here's an old thread about this subject. The pictures were lost in the "crash".

In response to your numerous requests, I will point the "pool cue of doom" (it's an arrow shaft, fools!) at the object in question.

Great. Thank you...Hate to be a layman but now what?

 

If Mr. Reed's experience in the earlier thread is anything to go by, then perhaps you could try replacing this non-return valve, either with a Ferrari part, or an Alfa part, or any generic valve of this type, and see what happens.

Others of the 348 'hood are certainly invited to jump in with alternate suggestions.

 

The "pool cue of doom" is the best one I've heard!!!! LOL!!!!!

 

Pretty cool solution to the problem, Miltonian. I don't know how you keep all of this 348 info in your head!

 

I usually get the washer fluid leaking onto the windshield only after a hard acceleration run.

Do you find this happens after hot drives with curvy Alfa's or does your 348 favour the more muscular Lambo's?

Sorry Doug - I know the question was serious, but just couldn't help it.

 

Lovely..... With the Hyper Flow Test Pipes and Tubi exhaust topped with a K&N filter, I like to run with the bulls.

Had a great time at the Kershaw track today and took some decent pic.'s. Check out the NC & SC thread.
