There are 2 pumps that go into the resevoir which the casings of the pumps can deteriorate and leak. Take out the resevoir and check the 2 pump locations for leaks. Replace/fix. VERY common. Take out the drivers side wheel well and unbolt/unplug everything connected to it (the resevoir) and take out the resevoir- remove the pumps... Mine were leaking bad but the pumps still worked. So I just used some rubber cement/sealant, let it dry and wrapped them up in electrical tape and put everything back together. I did this about a year ago and so far so good. There is a DIY article for it floating around somewhere... Cant remember where.

Lol its funny that you mention that. Because Yesterday My fluid light came on so I stopped by the store and picked up some vac line and some windshield fluid. So today I remount my 007 back to its normal position because having it in reverse sucks big time. After I get done with that I was adding the fluid when I noticed that all of it was pouring out the bottom of the reservoir , so i got under my car again and took off the lower valence and the wheel well. I saw that it was coming from the pump at the bottom was leaking. So i syphened out the fluid so I could reuse it. dried it all up and put some water proof adhesive along with a rubber washer to prevent the leak. It takes 24 to cure all the way. But Ill let you know if it worked for me.
