After two years have started smelling window washer fluid inside the car when we use the washer, no leaks found. Has this occured to anyone else, and what was the fix..thanks

Always smell it in my vehicle. I think the fresh air intake vent is nearby; that's why you smell it. I kind of like the smell (RainX brand washer fluid), definitely better smell than coolant or fuel.

Open the rear door, look up where it hinges to the roof. There is a rubber tube and a 90 degree elbow there. That's where the fluid runs for the back window wiper. Our tube was cracked and leaking fluid right there. May be the problem with yours. I pulled the tube off, cut off just past the split and reattached it. Good as new.
