Default Windshield fluid leaking

I have two things:

First has anyone have a problem with the windshield fluid housing not hold the fluid in? I can not find where the leak maybe. The attachment appears to be 100% ok, is there another site that it may be leaking from?

and second if any of you have a minute I need help finishing my Senior project survey for a class. Its five questions about sports and three other questions you just have to select a rating from 1 - 5. The survey is completely anonymous.

Class Project

Thank you for help on both if able,
Mothman

Use a paper towel when you're feeling around. It'll pick up moisture maybe you don't see.

If you end up needing a new reservoir I have one I can send you, cheap... I've had it listed for sale for awhile, but nobody has taken it.. At this point, I'll just be glad to get rid of it, and not throw it away.
