E71 washer fluid leak!
Hey guys.. I have an E71 and I tried to refill the washer fluid since the light was on. When I tried to fill it up, I noticed that the fluid was leaking from the front passenger side bumper. Does this mean that the tank is cracked or do I need a new pump? When I try to use the wipers I hear the pump working but no fluid is coming out. What do I need to do and how many pumps do I need if it’s a pump issue? Anyone have any experience in fixing this on your own?

if you hear the pump sound i dont think you need a new pump.. but more you try to use without fluid in the pump more likely it ll be damaged..

Most likely cracked tank. Very common on both X5 and X6. Happened to me twice. They tend to split.

Has anyone replaced the tank or had any hoses leak? I have had to fill up the washer reservoir twice in the last four months and haven't used the washers at all. So there has to be some sort of leak in a hose or at the tank.
