    Well. After noticing the washer fluid dripping onto the floor I opened the hood to see what I could see.

    Low and behold some attachment points of the right LED headlamp seems damaged. The lamp is loose. I found these repair mount parts, that seem to be just for the occasion, and ordered a set for both sides, just in case.

    Still waiting for parts to come in so:. To be continued....

    Don't know. Maybe someone hit the car while it was parked, and then left the scene, I'm afraid....

    Where was the washer fluid coming from? Cracked reservoir, or damaged fittings?

    There was a crack in a hose coming from one washer pump. Maybe whatever damaged the liner may have pressed a screw into the line. I added split loom around the replacement hose to help protect it from happening again.
