Washer fluid Leak
Washer fluid Leak
First problem with my CM. I've got a washer fluid leak as evidenced by the puddle of blue fluid in my garage along with a low level warning from connected. Anyone had this before? I was planning on taking a look to see if there was something obvious before having to take it in. At least it's not oil.

For the next person that may encounter this.
Got my CM back after 3 days. Fluid line to headlight washer was disconnected. After line reattached and pressure checked, line popped off again. New hose line required and ordered for overnight delivery.
New line installed, special BMW additive placed into fluid reservoir to reduce freezing point of washer fluid to -25 deg. Theory is that fluid froze in line resulting in damage.
Covered under warranty. Got to play with a 6sp hardtop.
