Intercooler spray reservoir leaking

I went to go fill the intercooler sprayer the other day and when I started pouring water into it; the water just starting leaking out the bottom, slowly the entire thing emptied itself onto my garage floor. Anyone had this problem before?

Check and make sure the hoses didn't come loose from the connector behind the bumper

You sure it all leaked out? It has an overflow hose that causes a fair amount to leak out. It still leaves plenty in there though.

Well the liquid is about 7-8" down from the top. None of the water sits in the cylindrical part of the reservoir, I can see some liquid down further once it gets wider...

Yes, this is what mine has always done. It should be normal.

you can see the clear tube on the side of the reserve. it should drain down that much.

you cant fill it past a certain point. its normall that it drains out, just aslong as you check that you can see the fluid about 7-8 inches from the top

That tank is a LOT bigger than it looks. Here's a picture off bushur's website.



I doubt it emptied all the way.
