I mopped up a windshield washer tank leak. Must have a crack in the reservoir or a loose hose. Don't know yet, have not looked. Just finished using search function to explore issue.

The weather was just miserable this weekend in the north west so I finally got around to mounting my sport classic wheels added the side script decals and painted the steering wheel cover the same color as the car. Not exactly an original look but I have been and aways will be a big fan of the seventies RS look.
