Washer Reservoir Question

I recently purchased a 2015 RDX. When I went to fill the fluid I leeks out behind the wheel well and stops at the line attached and highlighted in red. Is that normal or is the reservoir cracked or broken somewhere?

pull the front bumper and inspect reservoir...that way, you'll know first hand if it's cracked or not.


I also believe the dipstick has measuring hashes for you to determine if full

Unusual spot since there isn't anything there to rub against.Very inexpensive part. Throw in a new one! Maybe sure you grease up the oring of the pump before the install. It makes sliding in the pump much easier.

If the previous owner filled the tank with summer blend washer fluid and it froze in the winter, this would cause the tank to crack from expansion.
