Did you recently fill it? My guess is that is coming out of the overflow.

These cars don't fill to the top. Instead the fluid spills out below the fender when they are full.

Put it in until it spills out the tank and overflow which is located behind the wheel well cover on the passenger side. It won't hurt anything...

Or should I say, put it in till it hurts... LOL.

Well thats a relief, Just went to refill my washer fluid today and the last bit started pouring out the wheelwell. I thought for sure I had a crack in the tank. Once again, thanks for the input of the forum!

Here is a photo of the windshield washer fluid reservoir inside the right fender. The reservoir was removed when they put on the lambo doors.
