My windshield wiper fluid level warning comes up a couple of days after topping it off and never even using it. What could be the most likely culprit causing this leak besides the reservoir? Anyone have any DIY guides on diagnosing this problem so I can fix it myself? I'm out of warranty and would like to perform the repair myself.

Very likely it is the pump. It sits on the reservoir. There is also a gromet between the pump and reservoir (called a strainer), change that too.

I'mm experiencing the same problem. Can I just replace the strainer only? My pump is working fine?
