1998 Mercury Mountaineer Windshield Wipers And Washer Pump Not Working

What are common causes of water leaking from under a car?

That depends on the quantity of water.It can only come from three places. The cooling system, or the windscreen washer system, or the exhaust.I'm pretty sure you can ignore the washer system.The exhaust will push out a small quantity of water as a natural result of the combustion of the fuel. It is obvious and will be evident as a small wet patch under the tail pipeI'm pretty sure you can ignore that too.If there is more than a very small puddle you probably have a coolant leak.Although why you should find the leak under your car at whatever moment  you found it is a bit of a mystery. Unless it started just after you parked, purely by coincidence.If you have over heated the motor it will cause the water in the cooling system to steam. This will cause a small puddle.The fact that it has over heated is cause for investigation.The other reason might be that there was too much water in the system and it overflowed as a result.Water expands as it gets hotter. There is often a header tank that is designed to accommodate the extra volume of hot water. By filling the header tank over it's maximum while the car is cool, you over fill it. When the car reaches operating temperature the water will overflow through the overflow hose.

Where is windshield washer pump fuse on 98 saturn SL2?

the ignition (or accessories) should be "on", wipers should be "on" and have a buddy press the wash button while you are testing. The washer does not have a separate fuse.

USe a test light across the washer terminals. if its not working USUALLY the motor has died. there is little else to go bad except the switch.

Having pure water in there and freezing temps outside will sometimes kill it too.
