I believe the washer reservoir is in the fender well. On the LHD it's on the driver's side. Do you see the fluid draining out near a front wheel?

Leaks might be ...

The grommets, the washer pumps fit into,
A split seam in the reservoir,
Hose split or popped off the pump.



.... havent had a snorkle fitted recently have you ???? ... ;) .. :D:D


Its a PITA to get at, in a hurry ... but the removal of panels and stuff to get at it ... is pretty straightforward.

You might be able to see enough - just by getting the plastic, fender liner, pulled back out the way.
