Where does the Windshield washer fluid usually leak from?
Hi all,
My windshield washer fluid tank does not hold its water. By the end of the day there is not enough fluid left and I get the error message. Where does it usually leak from? Hoses? Where (at the tank? at the...)? Do the tanks ever crack? my car is a 2016. I am hoping it is something I can fix myself. TIA

It’s unlikely a tank or a line cracked unless you used water in the system in winter. Not that it can’t happen but ice would be the normal cause. If the pump housing is cracked, you could be leaking from there.
does the fluid run out as soon as you fill the tank? If so, tank, pump and level sensor are in that space.
