Rear Wiper Motor Leak

Post by Lyons » Wed Feb 21, 2018 7:39 pm

I’ve noticed over the last few days a weeping down the boot below the wiper arm. I assumed it was the water jet leaking but I’ve disxovered today it comes from the top of the rear screen! Upon further investigation it appears to be oil coming out of the wiper arm. Now I can only assume this is leaking from the motor. I’ve had a search but can find no other cases of this happening. Has anyone ever come across it before?

Google got me a link to a Range Rover forum where it happened to someone and he stripped the motor down and put a new o-ring in to stop the leak.
