I have the same issue here, I fill up the reservoir and within a day or two of not using it at all, I get the warning again and sure enough the level is low and I do not see any leaks on the floor. Could it also be the pump even though I am not using it? Thanks.

A month ago i got a low windshield fluid notification. I poured 1 gallon container of the blue windshield liquid and it did not top off, i wonder if it needs more than a gallon. I drove for one week and the got the low windshield fluid again, I did not notice any leak on driveway but when i turn on the AC i notice fog on the window in summer weather. So i was thinking is the reservoir larger than a gallon or is there a DIY for fix.
Fill the washer tank to the top. Drive around for a day, don't use washer. Check... if lower you likely have a leak.
Fog on window = Leak in heater core (a small radiator in the car which makes the air hot)... is there a kinda sweet smell... anti-freeze.
I would worry more about the fog than the washer fluid.
