Washer Fluid Tank leaking?

Hi guys

Anybody had any issues with the washer fluid tank leaking?
Mine must have some sort of leak from behind the tank and it keeps emptying the fluid!

I the impression it's only 2 bolts holding the tank in place and a quick removal should see if any pipes have come off?
Just thought I'd ask if anybody else has had the same?

Cheers
Max

Not had the same but yes, two bolts (10mm heads) and the tank is free.

Hope it is only a pipe or something simple. While the tank is out, it could be worth cleaning out the filters etc.

Hope that helps

This is the TIS for getting the washer tank out....

it could be coming out of the pumps themselves, I had this problem earlier this year. first on the front screen pump and then about 2 weeks later on the rear screen pump.
