Several services before my ownership the Dealer service invoice said 'washer reservoir leaking - probably joint between filler neck and reservoir'. Seems this was never fixed, as there's always been a bit of leakage if I fill to the brim. Last week I had the N/S wheelarch liner out for another reason, and had a poke around to see if I could locate this join, but no luck.
However, my fiddling with thing has resulted in the reservoir now emptying totally when I fill it.
Removing the liner again today revealed nothing adrift on that side, but water running along the outside of one of the pipes to the left of the reservoir.
Looks like a bumper off job tomorrow - though I expect it'll take me longer than 6 minutes. I can't see any of the pics mentioned elsewhere in this thread BTW, either from the links or in the Gallery.
