Are you saying there _is_ antifreeze in the washer reservoir or asking whether you should _put_ antifreeze in it? Either way it shouldn’t be there. There is washer fluid with antifreezing _properties,_ for winter use if that’s what you mean.

May be good idea to check your blinker fluid & muffler bearings. (jk)
