Default 2001 A6 Avant washer fluid leak

Hello, noticed at work yesterday a puddle under the drivers side near front of body area out towards side of car
On investigation washer fluid dripping out of the spot welded support area that runs front to back near front where it gos up to start fire wall, there is a formed drain there it was dripping out of
Feeling around (what you can) the tank area I found nothing.
Any standard failures that may cause this?? Tank, hoses connectors pump (is working) to look at to start
Thanks for any tips in advance!

Regards

I would guess that is the drain for the are where the battery and all are.
Pull off the cover and see if your washer hose is leaking into that area.

Thanks, will look at both this evening, I am more inclined to think pump to tank as it was a big puddle and I had not been using the washers

Thanks again to both of you, will report back!

regards
