Windshield washer fluid reservoir leaking?

BimmerE82 · 05-31-2015, 12:40 PM

My windshield washer "fluid low" indicator started chiming the other day. I then noticed a trickle of blue washer fluid seeping on to the driveway from behind the front right wheel well. has anyone had to replace a cracked or leaking reservoir or tube yet? its hard to tell where exactly the leak is coming from because the tank is hidden pretty well on the side of the engine compartment. Any thoughts?

More likely the bottom of the tank where the pump connects rather than the tank itself. Probably the pump or its seal.

I wish I could see where it is coming from but unless the car is on a lift it makes it near impossible to tell. Thanks.
