    Windscreen/Headlight washer leak A6 C6 2010

    Can anyone save me some time on this?
    I've got a leak on the washer system somewhere, and before I even think of removing the front bumper to try and find it- I wonder if anyone here has come across a similar issue, and could point me in the right direction?

    It's difficult to track the location of the leak, as it seems to track along the rear lower edge of the bumper.

    Not a huge leak, but enough to leave a damp patch overnight- and maximum 2 weeks between refill to 'Empty' light on again.

    My money is on one of the washer pumps. Remove wheel arch liner (not bumper) even just front corner - offside... you will see small drips. Likely to need a new pump.
    I had the same and thought it might be the grommets through which the pumps push into the washer bottle - but not.
    It will probably be the black one with the level sensor. Leaking at the gasket between the two parts.
