Default Broken reservoir, disconnected line, headlight washers....

Take the belly shield off and pinpoint where its leaking from.

My resevoir was replaced twice under warranty. Developed a crack somewhere on the underside.

Default the pump on the reservoir and the line to the headlight pump are known to go.

there's a tech article in the S4 section that goes over replacing the pump on the reservoir itself. I was having a problem with my washer fluid running out and didn't realize the problem until I made RS4 lower grills and could easily see it flowing out of the hose going to the driver side headlight pump. Easy fix, luckily.
