Washer Fluid Leak??
I'm leaking washer fluid by my front left tire. A few weeks ago my DIC reported low washer fluid. I filled it up and started noticing more puddles by my tire. I got in this morning and received the low washer fluid message again. So, I obviously have a leak and a pretty bad one that drains rapidly.
I did a search and found the following thread. Do you think the part/bulletin in this thread could fix my problem - or does it appear to be something more severe??

Interested to know if anyone else has experienced and fixed this or a similar problem. Thanks

Something that you can do is simply unbolt the washer tank from the fender and see if you can see any fluid leaking from the tank. It will also allow you to feel the hose that goes into the washer tank to see if it maybe is leaking.

I experinced the same problem. Thought the tank was leaking, but after closer inspection I noticed some washer stain on the pump. Replaced the pump and had no further problems. Hope this helps.

It is under the tank. Remove the bolts holding the tank, unplug the elec connector and you will be able to lift it up to see the pump it, is on the bottom of the tank. Your leak probably will be in that area. JMHO
