    Developed a leak coming out driver side at front of car. Bright blue liquid. My car is a 09 430. Is the resevoir on these models prone to leaking?

    Does washer fluid dispense onto the windshield? Quick way to check if it's a detached or broken line vs the reservoir.
    I personally haven't heard of this as a normal problem on the 360/430. Older models tend to fail at the seal between the pump and the reservoir, and the California had issues with res cracking.

    My 360 leaks on the passenger side. I have not dealt with it yet.

    Any chance the front bumper has recently been removed/refitted? Snagging/puncturing the washer feed hoses to the headlamps during figment is a known issue - if the leak is at the front....

    I've owned since October 2015. I haven't removed front bumper. Driven the car about 1k miles. The leak just showed .

    How difficult is this to access and fix?
