Windshield Washer Bottle Leak

I noticed my 09 washer bottle will not hold fluid anymore. It just leaks out the bottom somewhere when I try to fill it up so now I have a constant "Low Washer Fluid" warning light burning. I'm assuming the tank has split in it or there's a hole in it somewhere.

Is this a common failure on the 09 FX35?

Never heard of that on any FX's or Infinitis.
 
So when you fill it, does the fluid just leak out immediately? It could be either the line that carries the fluid or the sensor itself, both plug into the bottom of the tank I believe so if either O ring had a leak, it would cause your problem. Can you pop under there and take a look? I think if you pop the splash shield off the bottom you'd have access.
 
I have the same issue, my light goes on after one day after I fill it up. Then the next day the light comes one. It does not leak when I fill it up. nothing in the garage or when I park it. I assume it is a sensor. anyone know where the sensor is located?
