Windshield fluid reservoir problems

I own a 2010 Clubman. Something I've noticed happening lately is that the windshield fluid reservoir seems to empty after one use with the rear windshield wipers and the front sprayer has possibly stopped working. I say possibly because I can hear the motor revving up to spray and I sometimes see a dribble of fluid coming out, but there is no actual spray. There doesn't seem to be any leak from what I've seen. I took it to Peoboys the other day and they didn't see anything wrong. Anyone know what's going on? I would take it to the dealership but that's six hours away and I don't have the time.

Well, is the reservoir actually empty? Or is the nozzle just clogged up?

Reservoir empties after one use with rear wiper spray. Front nozzles not clogged (first thing I checked).
