f13 losing washer fluid

[Origin Unknown]

Any common areas to check? I'm losing the whole bottle overnight, although cannot tell from where due to the amount of rain this weekend.

if the whole bottle is going then is would have to be at the bottom of the tank,,its situated in the rhs wing and the pump for the rear wash is lower than the pump for the front iirc - maybe its become dislodged?

Probably none of the pumps has failed/split and it's leaking out that way...

It'll be in the drivers side wing area IIRC; so time to take the wheel off/wheel arch liner out and then top up the bottle with water and see where it's pouting out from...

Could be a split bottle or pipe

I had the same problem with my current Z4 when I bought it with the washer fluid warning light on.

I got home and filled the reservoir. Next morning there was a big puddle in front of the passenger side wheel and no fluid left.

The culprit was a leaking headlamp washer.

My f13 had a leak. Turned out to be leaking out of the windscreen washer pump. I couldn’t see exactly where from but I replaced the pump and it’s been fine ever since.

Thanks all, looks like it's a wheel off to get the liner out, time to dust off the jack. Will report back.

Yup; little bit of a faffy job but you'll soon have it sussed
