well the reservoir is always the big plastic container with the cap that doesnt seal, usually just sort of snaps on. but if you're filling it then you should know where it is. after you fill it do you notice a wet spot underneath? that would tell you an approximate area of where your leak is.. for example if its directly under the reservoir then its probably cracked somewhere.

A common cause on the A8 is leaking headlight washer jets or the pipe work that supplies them Behind the bumper), but could still be the reservoir itself. To get to the reservoir, you would need to remove the wheel and wheel arch liner, then you should be able to see if it's leaking.
