leaky washerbottle under hard cornering??

[Beedub]

anyone noticed under hard cornering their Brimmed washerbottle leaks?? my latest trackday revealed a sweet smell coming from the bonnet, fearing coolant i inspected thoroughtly and found my washerbottle screen wash seems to Froff up and leak out the cap, seems to be a combo of a warm day, very warm engine bay temps and hard cornering (sticky tyres)!! just wondering if anyone had experienced the same?? i was hoping for my first warranty claim............ a new washerbottle!! lol

yes, overfilling it will spill during driving. Not had it in the Z, but in the X5. Lovely smell, keep going around roundabouts

Pesky problem those leaking bottles - or perhaps some drivers are more enthusiastic than others? Solved it (sort of) by slipping an extra thick latex surgical glove over the mouth of the bottle and then clipping the lid on. Cut away the excess latex so that it's not visible. Been holding for months now.
