Windshield Washer fluid Leaking or Overfilled?

Hi All

Just had my car serviced this week and noticed windshield washer liquid leaking on my E70 X5. It doesn't leak whilst stationary, only happens after driving for 2-3mins.

I rung the dealer and they advised me it leaks because the mechanic had overfill it. Apparently it is a BMW design to drain any extra fluid, should go away after a while.

Is this true or are they just BS? :dunno:

Cheers
Leon

If it's coming from your overfill it should stop shortly.
