The windscreen washer warning came on! So I added washer fluid! All fine! I then used the windscreen washers again and within a few squirts it asked me to refill again.

When I parked up there was water underneath the passenger drivers wheel/front bumper

I also noticed under the passenger footwell that the carpet was damp! I lifted the carpet to find that the foam and carpet was also damp!

I towel dried the footwell and it looks like a light blue coloured residue! I think it's the water washer fluid!


Anyone had this before!? Easy fix?
