pressure washer replacement parts image

My garden faucet leaks at the connection to the hose only while it is connected and turned on. I tried putting plumber's tape around it and also replaced the o-ring washer in the hose. It still sprays out of the connection. Assuming I try another hose on it and it still leaks, do I need to replace the garden faucet? What's wrong with it?
Answer
It would be wise to determine if as you suspect, if it is a defective hose end. If it is and the rest of the hose is worth it, they sell replacements that are not difficult to install. Before any of that though, be sure there is not a vacuum breaker on the hose bibb. You will know if there is by seeing little holes made into the brass body where your hose threads on. If you do have one, it's supposed to leak if it detects 'back pressure'. If you end up changing your lawn faucet, it may be sold as a hose bibb, boiler drain, or sill cock. All of this of course is based on the idea that the water leaking is coming from the hose thread connection. If it's leaking around the stem, the part that the handle is connected to, simply use a crescent type wrench to turn the 'packing nut' to the right while it,s leaking until it stops leaking. Good luck.

Will a hole in the windshield washer fluid bottle cause the check engine light to come on?

So I just replaced my battery in my 2003 Buick rendesvous and I put more washer fluid into it when I backed out of the drive way I noticed it all leaked out. So the low fluid light came on and so did the check engine. Could that be the cause? I know the computer resets after the battery replacement and that's the only thing I know and see is wrong with it.
Answer
The low fluid light may be telling you about "low washer fluid", which has nothing to do with the engine. The check engine light tells you there's a problem with oil pressure, coolant temp, emissions, or something else related to the engine. The windshield washer is like the radio -- it's part of the car, but not involved with the engine.
