I've got washer fluid spots in front of the car. Not sure exactly where it's coming from. Might be here but don't see it actively coming out. Any thoughts on where else to check. It's on the passenger side of the car below the fluid reservoir / front right headlights.
Thanks.

The washer pump and level sensor are sealed to the washer tank with rubber rings. These can harden and leak. The washer pump itself can eat an internal seal and leak. The hoses can leak, etc. Get down there and look.

get a screwdriver, phillips.
undo the 1 plastic screw holding the washer tank in place.
you may also need to remove the passenger side headlight backing shroud.
lift washer tank up enough to unplug level sensor from side.
there will be enough slack in the pump wiring to get it up enough to inspect the rubber seals.
