Yes unfortunately the X3 is notorious for springing leaks in the washer fluid pumps that are on the washer tank under the hood. The good news is that it's an easy DIY fix. My 2006 drained all its fluid and then again after about week once filled. I noticed it was leaking right at the pump/grommet so I tried replacing the strainer grommet first but it was the pump so i replaced the pump that was leaking. To help others that may come across this i created the following tutorial/photo document of the replacement:
BMW X3 Washer Fluid Pump Replacement DIY Guide You can fix it for about $35 in parts and save a ton of money over what the dealer would charge (mine quoted $65 for the pump alone so installated would be well over $100).

eBay has the front and rear windshield pumps for $5.50 shipped a piece!
67128362154 need 2 Audi BMW Windshield Washer Pump New | eBay The strainers for the front and rear windshield pumps seem to cost less directly from your stealer and cost more on eBay than these inexpensive pumps! 61667006063 need 2 The two pumps are located next to each other facing the firewall. The pump on the side next to the engine is for the headlight washers, if you have them. It takes a different strainer and is a different style pump. I have a 2001 X5 4.4i.

Just wondering have you personally tried those $5 pumps? I'd be a bit wary of a generic pump with no brand name mentioned, and frankly the quality of a $5 pump. The factory part that i used is the Siemens/Continental pump that you can find on Amazon or Ebay for about $35 (often labeled VDO). It was the identical part that came out of the car. Having said that, since the OEM pumps that are in the car are such crap maybe the $5 pump couldn't be any worse?

I received one of the pumps that I ordered today.
It is marketed under the brand name URO Parts. http://www.uroparts.com from A.P.A. Industires in Simi Valley, California. About APA Industries Looks just like the pump pictured on the eBay seller's link above. There's isn't any label or printing on the pump itself. I have just replaced the strainers, so I'll see if I even need the pumps.

As the OP of this thread, I need to revisit it...
Same subject, different problem, but still undiscovered.. Found a puddle of WW fluid under my X5 yesterday morning... Took to my friendly Indy buddy, (11 degree outside temp and no heated garage = No DIY)Replaced the pump that looked like it was leaking. Drove her home, and said good night Woke this AM and there is a BIGGER puddle under the X. Took it back to Indy (it was 4PM so we were a bit rushed), but the pump was not leaking. There seems to be a leak somewhere heading towards the headlight washer on the PASS Side, but darned if either of us could find it.. we found a tiny puddle on the frame rail. But that's about it... Any one got any ideas...?? ED in NJ Last edited by edco; 01-26-2013 at 01:12 AM.

Sounds like the hose is leaking. It all breaks down eventually. You need to trace that line. Did you try to spray the headlights while looking under?

Mine was doing the samething. I ended up finding out the headlight washer pump was not working and the two o rings in the strainer were missing. Still waiting for the new pump and strainer to arrive however in order to stop the wwf from emptying out every 3 days I took some silicone and put in in the strainer (tried to fill the place where the o rings go) and then put some on the pump. Inserted it and let it dry for 4 hours. No more problem with it leaking. BTW, I checked the headlight hoses by pulling the hose from the pump and taking my small air compressor and blowing some air through the hose to confirm the pumps and everything was fine.
Hope this helps.
