The screenwasher reservoir on my 1999 Mercedes CLK 230 is leaking from somewhere. Ive checked the hoses for leaks and cant visibly see any. I have to refill it every other day ! Any clues? Thanks. P. S. There are no visible cracks in the reservoir.

The most common cause would be a bad rubber grommet (seal) for the washer motor.
