The other day I was low on washer fluid, so I topped it up. First top up since I got the car in November. After a minute I noticed a large puddle under the car.
Low washer fluid level warning constantly on since then. Washer pump working okay.
Thoughts? Experiences?

 

under what part of the car?

 

Under the backside. Actually I noticed it on the backup cam when I sat inside and put the car in reverse.

 

I think its a washer fluid leak.

 

Have scheduled a service appt for Wednesday morning. Let's see what the official diagnosis is.

 

ok so wanted to update the post, in case any one experience this, apparently common, issue in the future:
so the ftype has two washer fluid reservoirs, one near the trunk under the washer cap and the other one somewhere in the front. after you fill the washer fluid, and press the washer button, a pump pumps the excess fluid from the rear tank to the front reservoir. the hose exiting the rear tank has a couple O-rings within it to secure the attachment.
In my case, the hose popped off and everytime the pump would try to transfer fluid from the rear to the front tank(ie, everytime I would push the button), the fluid would leak, nothing would get sent to the front tank and therefore the washer fluid warning light would turn on and stay on until car would turn off. they re-attached the hose best they could, which involved removing the rear bumper. but they said the ultimate fix would be to order a new hose with O-rings intact and they would need the car for 2-3 days to really get in there, since the hose runs the entire length of the car and all of it would need to be changed.
for now, no warning light. hope that was a clear enough description

 

OK, I've certainly had a few cars over the years with difficult to reach washer fluid leaks.. no big deal, but a pain to get at.

Get it fixed properly. I bet that the makeshift fix will fail.

 

Any thoughts or experienxes regarding the expertise and trustworthiness of jag dealership service centers?

 

If it's warranty work the dealership is the only game in town unless you want to pay for the repair out of your own pocket at an independent...

 

+1. Regardless of how much needs to be done to fix it, the fix itself will be straight forward and simple to do. They may just have to remove a bunch of stuff to get to where the hose is routed.

 

yes and that's exactly what makes me nervous; removing a bunch of stuff. I'm nervous about scratches, loose parts, new rattles once I get the car back

 

Understood!
