Default Wiper fluid hemorrhaging ?

If I fill my wiper fluid reservoir to full it will loose about 1/2 of the gallon on the ground under the car. Then it stops. that leaves enough fluid to last a week or two. BUT every time I spray fluid on my windshield more leaks out under the car.
I dont notice this when driving but this morning I back out of my garage and I was sitting in the drive way and hit the wiper fluid and suddenly I noticed a puddle of wiper fluid under the car that was not there before hand.
I suspect this is a seal somewhere and not a crack.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Probably a crack in the hose but wiper fluid reservoirs are know for cracking

My A6 developed leaks in the headlight wiper lines/connectors. I replaced them once, then when it happened a year later said heck with it since they used too much fluid even when they worked right. Had the same thing happen to my daughter's A4. Just pinch off the lines where they come out of the reservoir.

Thanks guys
My car does not have headlight wipers, so I dont think thats what it is.
I will check for cracks and leaky hoses.
