Washer fluid empties quickly

I just had to put in another jug of windshield washer fluid after getting a warning message pop up saying "Washer fluid low". It's the 2nd jug I've put in this winter - maybe in the last 3-4 months.

I've never had a car where I've had to pour windshield washer fluid in like this. I'm not aware of any leaks but haven't sprayed the fluid and looked for any. There's no drips or anything under my car.

Does the X5 just go through washer fluid quickly? Maybe the cold weather package increases consumption? I don't use my squirters any more than I have on any car in the past.

Any idea how much fluid might be left after the warning pops up? Both times I've seen the warning, it takes a whole gallon of fluid and still doesn't quite fill it up all the way. It looks like there's room for another quart or two in the tank.
