windshield washer reservoir leak
Heres the deal--- Noticed puddle on floor 10 days ago right after filling with cheap autozone fluid. leaked down over 3---4 days till light came on---- refilled with plain water to get light to go off till I had time to pull inner fender and inspect. Now it has stopped leaking ?????????? Do you suppose that alcohol present in autozone fluid could shrink seal on pump or connections? Just a GUESS. I still have not looked inside fender.
Y'all have a great day.

I think you have to replace the whole thing.
I remember I bought an aftermarket washer pump from some online auto parts supplier, and it didn't fit the same so it still leaked. I ended up replacing that one with an OEM pump.
Here are a few posts on this issue:

One solution, and I tried this, and worked for about two or three months before it started leaking again:
