When ever I use the window washer, fluid really spills out on the ground under the washer container. A lot spills out when washing the front windshield and a lot less when I use the back one. I pulled out the connector/pump at the bottom of the container and of course emptied the tank. I can not tell if it leaks at the connection or not, it is just a press-on fit There are two pumps (it sounds like) or two speeds front vs back. Tough to work on it with out help. Anyone see something similar?

Make sure the hoses are not damaged and have a tight connection to the pump. Also, make sure the plastic on the pump isn't cracked from freezing over the winter.

There are two pumps, one for the front and one for the rear.

Both pumps were cracked and leaking. I was able to remove them, ty-wrap them and seal them with silicone. Better than new and no cost to repair.
