Tom and Ray discuss what to do when windshield-washer fluid was accidentally put in the coolant reservoir. And how to accommodate for putting Windex instead of the diluted blue stuff you buy for car windshields in the reservoir.

Dear Tom and Ray:

My aunt called me the other day and said she had trouble trying to find the place where you put more windshield-washer fluid. She told me the only cover she found was one that said "Coolant." You guessed it -- she put the windshield-washer fluid in the coolant reservoir. She then told me that she used a bottle of Windex instead of the diluted blue stuff you buy for car windshields. What should I do to help her, and what possible damage did she do? -- Adam
