WINDSHIELD WASHER KEEPS DRAINING (mysterious)

[pinoy ako]

I have a problem with my 2007 x5 e70 in which my windshield washer fluid keeps draining but can't find the leak. I've check the reservoir but no leak also checked under the car but don't see any puddle and also checked inside car front passenger/ driver and rear carpets but all of them are dry. I even removed my passenger fender to check the reservoir but it's also dry so what worries me is where the washer fluid leaking??? Any ideas??????

check the washer pump(s) grommet,

If its the grommet there should be a puddle under it. I can't see any problem on the grommets

Wrap paper towel around the outside of each pump

I never saw the leak on my e53 but teltale of stained paper towel showed the evidence

Both of the pumps are super dry, with the reservoir full it will drain out in a couple of hours and don't see any puddle. I'm sure it's on te line but just not sure where to start

[andrewwynn]

Use a clamp to pinch off each line to determine which is leaking. If it's not obvious most likely either the headlight or back window

Anyone knows how the windshield washer line being routed from the pump to the rear windshield

[getty150]

Does the rear sprayer function.... If not it could very well be a disconnected line going in that direction (under the carpet)... It happened to me on my X3.

That's what I'm planning to do, will try to remove the center console and will follow the line. Can't do it for now coz it's freezing outside

Freezing in Texas, you say?
