I took the car for an oil change in Dec, and I told SA to check for any leaks inside the undercarriage since I had a low coolant light last month,
since I got it back it leaked all the washer fluid in less than a week. Anyone had this happened?
The leak was comming right in front of the drivers front wheel and I also noticed that no fluid was comming out of the wipers (only the headlights had fluid comming out)

I have an app Friday to check this out.

I had the same problem few months back. Dealership noticed it, and apparently it wasnt covered under cpo. So i replaced one of the 2 windsheild washer pumps and the problem was solved. Took 10mins to replace All you do is, take off the wheel, take off the front portion of the wheel well liner, and see which of the 2 pumps is leaking. (2 because 1 is for the windsheild, 1 is for the headlight washer)
