LoPoVe

I have a leak right at the front of the driver side tires.
I believe it's a windshield washer fluid leak.
I took off the tire and the liner to investigate and took pics of the source of the leak.
I found a spot where it is dripping onto the inside of the bumper but have no idea where the leak is coming from. It's a slow drip.
Does anyone know how I can check the reservoir and where the pump for the windshield washer fluid is? I have not been able to locate anything on the internet.

found it!

It's from a hose at the bottom of the reservoir going to the front.
Is it going to the driver side head light washer? I didn't know my car had this.

Do I have to remove the whole bumper to get at this piece? Or the fender? I hope not....

Anyone know???

For some reason my iphone rotates the pics. please imagine the pic rotated 90 degrees clockwise...

Found the culprit.....there was a broken hose clamp on the windshield washer fluid line to the headlight washers.....to me it seems like there should be more clamps.....had to take off the bumper on one side....I am putting more clamps back on to make sure this leak doesn't come back......

Bought some clamps from autozone for $2.50 and put them on, tightened them with a screwdriver, and no leaks!

First time in a year my audi is not leaking antifreeze (thermostat and elbow plug replaced by me) and windshield washer fluid or anything else!

It's like a new car!

Good info. I know I had this issue on my 02 after I removed the bumper to do the timing belt. I assume it broke the seal in the headlight washer line. I ended up using Teflon tape to get it to stop.
