Windshield whiper fluid???
So I got a light on my dash saying I'm low on windhsield whiper fluid. So I go to fill it up and no more than 5 seconds of pouring in the fluid, fluid starts gushing up from underneath the car. I couldn't tell exactly where it was coming from, but now i'm completely confused. The dash light is still on the for the fluid and I can't seem to make it go away.
Any ideas?

Do you have headlight washers? Check the hoses and the jets for leaks.
Pull the under pan and poke your head under the LF (driver side) bumper cover. Look for leaks. Common leaks include the hoses and the pump gasket.

hose that runs from reservoir to headlights is actually two pieces. I had a similar problem with my car, for some reason when I used the windshield wipers, pressure would build up in the lines forcing the connection to break. If this is the problem that you have, make sure you connect the hoses properly and lock it in place. also shoot some fluid on the windshield to test before you reassemble everything
or it could be a broken reservoir, fairly common on some models,
take off the wheel well cover to get a better look, if i remember correctly
