Boxster randomly dumps all washer fluid on garage floor...

As the title says, my 2004 Box S randomly dumps it's whole tank of washer fluid on the garage floor. In the 11 years I've had the car, this has probably happened 5 times. The car lives at my holiday home and as such it often sits for long periods. If I fill the washer fluid tank, it holds fluid with no problem, until all of a sudden the contents are on the floor, maybe months later... or not. Need some advice before I pull my front bumper.

Right front is where the puddle is, if that helps any.

The slope is not slippery; in fact it is entirely frictionless.

I think the tank is behind the wheel liner on drivers side.

Do you have headlight washers? Could be that.
The only other fluid in the right front is coolant.

That's a good thought. A YouTube video had one that leaked for Matt Armstrong and had to be replaced.

headlight washer replacement

FYI.. They can be easily replace by removing the headlight modules. No need to remove the bumper cover. But then you probably already figured that out.
Cheers.
