Vanishing washer fluid, any suggestions? >>
My washer fluid empties itself about every 2 weeks. I don't use it...so I obviously have a leak. I've already replaced the plastic reservoir, and cleaned all the rubber gaskets/hoses. I DID notice that the headlight washer pump has a crack in it at the base of the pump. I assumed that this part of the pump was all electrical but is it possible that my washer fluid is leaking out the bottom of the pump?
Anybody else have this problem?

That might be good advice because >>
I forgot to mention that the reservoir never seems to empty COMPLETELY. It seems to stop leaking with about an inch or so of fluid at the bottom.

Happened to me twice
Here's where my leak was -- this is a plastic sleeve that the headlight washer pump fits in. It drips slowly for a while until the tank is drained.

I had a very similar issue and it was simply the line that connected to the headlight washers was disconnected and leaking out all the fluid. You stated you checked all those, but in my situation that was it. simple fix.

Usually the rubber grommets that one of the pumps fits in. Should be damp there though.
