- If you have brand-new BMW grommets and still has slow leak, then it is likely
from the weep hole. Virtually all washer pump motors have a weep hole.

- I took some random photos of BMW E90 from the internet to show ppl the basic design of a washer pump.

- Once it is apart, you will see: the motor shaft ---> plastic impeller. It is sealed
by a rubber seal. With time, this rubber seal shrinks down and starts leaking, a drop here a drop there etc.
Finding this rubber seal is close to impossible.

- BEST is a new VDO washer pump motor for $16-$20.
