Thanks Fred.
After looking ofr any videos etc but not fidin any for the washer bottle mounted near the firewall I took off the os front wheel and inner arch the bottle was fine and filled with water no leaks but then i noticed that under the front os headlight there is plastic tray with sections that act like a reservoir which was full of water presumably from the headlight washer. I emptied it with a sponge and reassembled everything. No leaks but it doesnt explain why when I was pouring washer fluid into the bottle is was on the floor unless I was pouring it directly into the overflow - I was using one of those predicted washer fluid refill in a bag with a nozzle which I had upended into the filler neck
The headlight may have not been reseated properly after had changed the light bulb a coupe of weeks ago whicb required removal of the headlamp unit.
