Screen wash leaking ??

Warning light came up yesterday topped it right up. Off to work came on straight away. Filled it again tonight only to see it all flow out onto the drive. It's flowing out on the N/S front corner where under tray meets front lip.
I assume it's just a connection down there some where?? Anyone have a diagram of the route the pipes take to head lights. Might save me hunting for ages.

My B8 RS4 just got back from the garage for this exact problem. Was an issue with the washerjet leaking.

I had this with mine, topped up to the brim twice in two days but then it stopped (well, the light stayed off). Self-healing Audi?

Problem sorted👍 After contacting the Audi dealer I bought it from a couple of months ago and being told they couldn't look at it for two weeks, QST it was, quick phone call half hour later it was up on a ramp. It was the pipe behind the wheel arch liner had come unclipped.

So a little after 12months after the first issue reported the pump has also given up, which also resulted in the screen wash being dumped straight out - resulted in a £200 bill (my warranty excess being £250!)
Guessing this was probably the issue first time round as I noticed the headlight washer system was pretty random...
