Have you had the line running to the resivior disconnected for some time? This is what I did, and mine had some dirt (I'm guessing) clogging the line. A quick burst with the air compressor took care of it though.

Hmm why would you mix the windshield washer fluid with different freezing temps specs?

Possibly a stupid thought, but wouldn't a coolant tester work? Windshield washer fluid has antifreeze in it. Well, the good stuff does.

Windshield washer fluid has alcohol in it, it's more of anti-ice.
Not glycol that I know of unless your talking about aircraft deicing fluid or coolant.

Hmmm I'm pretty sure the stuff I buy has antifreeze in it. It says it's good for something like -30.
