Default WTF! Added a gallon of washer fluid and it was "Gone in 60 seconds"

Noticed a nice wet trail leading out from under the front of my car. Is this a known problem? How do I fix? Replace the reservoir (sp?)? What's the part number?

Default I've broken both of mine...it sucks if they're broken in the winter...

it's a bitch trying to see through that dirty water/**** kicked off the roads after a snow, and you run out of washer fluid after like 5 min :-(

Default Is it much more water than A/C condensation drip???

I noticed that my car always has a water drip after driving for a while with the A/C set to 74 or 75 degrees. Usually, if I'm gone for a few minutes after leaving the car, when I come back there's a trail of fluid running out from under my car. It's colorless, and looks just like a trail of water.

Now you've got me a little concerned.
