What leaks? Check the hoses for holes. Make sure all the hoses are hooked up to the pump. Make sure the hoses are hooked to the spray nozzles and are tight. Make sure that there are no obstructions in the lines, creating excessive back pressure.
Windshield washer hose is attached on one end to the windshield washer reservoir pump and the other end to the spray nozzles. It is the same as every other car built in the last 50 years. --Ken

The brand of washer does not make a difference, but you need to use the delicate cycle, which every washer has.
Normal windshield washer fluid contains methanol. Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol. Assuming that your rubbing alcohol is 70% alcohol, I would mix 1 cup of alcohol for every 2 cups of distilled water. If you use tap water, you could get mineral deposits in your windshield washer tubing. Also, I wouldn't try using rubbing alcohol in an older car, because it might still use rubber tubing. This would be damaged by the isopropyl alcohol.
I had the same problem with my ford ranger. every once in a while my windshield wiper would go for no reason and not stop. I removed the the cover of the turn signal. be careful not to drop the spring. than remove the contact and clean the inside with electronic contact cleaner. The problem is there is to much grease and it make contact for no reason. after I did that I never had any problem.
every year
I'm not sure, but I've had this problem before. Check the top of the windshield, and for rust holes in the roof for leakage. I had the same problem with my 1998 LeSabre last month, and it was indeed coming from the windshield.
There is no separate control for the headlight wipers. Depending on the year, the washer works several different ways. If it's new, you just need to hold the washer for an additional few seconds and they will engage then. If you have an older model, they will work either every 3rd time you use the windshield washer, ( I've also read every 5th time ),or they have a small reflective square at the bottom of the light and if light reflects back, they will engage. I've also read that the headlights needed to be on for them to work. Something you need two people to check, Hope this helps.
there's a cap on every fluid of every car. if yours is missing, its no big deal, just put another cap over it, or tinfoil works to, as long as it doesnt get stuck inside the tank. you just don't want dirt and crap getting in there while your using your wipers.
Windshield wipers should be replaced every 6,000 miles. The windshield wipers should be any of the following sizes: 93-01, 94, 95, or 96.
