Well, the 215 is reporting only 1 malfunction- low wash fluid. Filled it yesterday, this morning noticed a damp patch By right front wheel, put it down to melting frost. On startup the wash fluid was low.

So it looks like something is leaking. Has anyone had a leaky wash tank before? And if so, how easy/ cheap are they to fix?

The tanks can start leaking and then stop and never do it again, the tank is be hind the wheel, if the leak is in front of the wheel, then just a pipe leaking going to the jet.

I didn't see the leak (SWMBO's keen eyes spotted it) I just saw the consequences on the DIS.

Wash tank looks to have good access.
