Great thoughts. I’ve had to patch up my washer lines a few times, and it’s a PITA getting to them. I am currently without that function, as my “patch” has failed again, and I haven’t taken the time to install the new line I finally bought. (Where the heck is that anyway…?)
:hmmm2:
I forget where you are, but if it isn't too far away, I'd be happy to help (not like you need it).

Since mine failed miserably, I will recommend the heater hose connectors(and hoses). The plastic tee and the heater core connectors get brittle and crack. Replace it all now and save on another coolant replacement.

A long time ago, ( In a city far far away) I replaced a Northstar engine in my " just bought used with a rod knock", a perfect '93 Cadillac STS. While the engine was out, I went through everything that would have been hard to reach. CLEANED everything, and detailed new engine, inspected & heat-protect wrapped all fluid lines, and re covered all the wiring.

I can see on my '05 Yukon, the wires near the upper suspension, etc., ..the factory covering was brittle & exposing the wires. Plus, clean-de grease the suspension stuff....
