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)
