Q: Washer fluid leak

asked by on December 03, 2017

I suspect my washer fluid has a leak somewhere because although i seldom even use it, the low washer fluid warning would come on about a week later after i refill however i could see water dripping on the bottom front panel of the car just below the washer fluid bottle . What should be done or changed? I dont think the washer bottle is cracked or broken since the car is new and never had an accident
