 It can either be a cracked bottle or it can be the big o ring that the pump sits into i cant remeber but i think the bottles are near the wheel arch and u will have to take the wheel arch cover of to visually inspect it

thanks for the response

well its took me a few days, ive cleaned the bottle so it looks like new, theres no cracks and ive changed the seal, and its still leaking  :sad:

cant see where its coming from, the pump itself or the level sensor maybe?

It will be the pipe mate. Follow that pipe  that goes off the motor at the bottom and look underneath the pipe for a puddle of screen wash stains somwer.

Sorry mate i didnt say that i just thought from what u said it was a washer bottle leak as u said it kept dropping level even though u filled it up just take the wheel arch cover off and operate the jets might also be a leak at the jets under that sound dampener on the bonnet just search when your holding the washer switch
