Normally the rear fuel washer tanks are located in the trunk area. Should be a panel on the left or right of the trunk covered in carpet that you can pull off. One should have the washer tank behind it...the other might have a jack and tools. Good luck. Although he is correct that there is a washer tank in the back of many cars, Subaru did not go that route. They used the very same washer fluid tank with a second pump and a reaallly long hose between the roof and headliner inside of the passenger compartment. Much easier to fill just the one tank, don't you think? :-) --Ken
Assuming that your 2001 is the same as my 2000, the pump is atached at the bottom of the fluid reservoir. It does not need to be primed. --Ken
What is the transmission fluid capacity on a 2001 subaru forester?
There is only 1 reservoir with 2 pumps used for front & rear and contain about 1 gallon of fluid...
When the washer fluid light comes on any vehicle it means the fluid is low or empty. You can refill the washer fluid in the plastic jug located under the hood.
Yes, it is definitely good to use transmission fluid in your Forester. I highly recommend it and use it in my 2000 with no problems.
If it's the same as other Foresters there is only one tank under the hood which feeds both front and back washers.
Assuming that yours is the same as my 2000, and assuming that you are asking because you want to remove the drain plug, recycle whatever comes out, and refill with fresh fluid, the refill is about a gallon. This operation is recommended yearly to extend transmission life.

The washer fluid sensor is probably bad.
I need Dexron III in my Subaru Forester, but I don't need any right now, thanks. Your owner's manual will tell you what to use in yours.
Starting with the 1997 Ford Explorer the rear washer fluid is supplied by the windshield washer fluid reservoir in the engine compartment
It should be inside the windshield washer fluid tank
