windshield washer resevoir leak?

Anybody ever have this happen? I get the "check washer fluid message" I add a gallon of fluid and next thing I know it's running out of the bottom of the car right behind the wheel well. Looks like the whole gallon leaked out. Can't even see the reservoir.

pretty common - could be the hoses, the seal or the actual washer bottle..........you can take off the plastic wheel surround to get up and to it

2003 SL55,2020 GTC ,2017 GTS sold ,2002 G500 Sold,2003 SL500 Sold,
Take wheel off ,take off rear part of fender well ,could be seal where pump goes in,if you take it out you have to release the anti freeze hoses,you need the release tool,also loosen rad cap or you will get a bath,also black filler tube is a pia to get in/out.there is an electrical connector too,you should be able to see where it's leaking from after you remove fender well , good luck
