Default windshield washer problem

I have a 05 SC430 and there seems to b e a problem In the system. I can fill the reservoir and it doesn't seem to hold the fluid. I think there's a problem in the tubing - specifically in the connections. I think the clamps or whatever is used won't hold. Any suggestions?

..It could possibly be a hose that has come loose. You'll probably have to do through the driver side fender well, to get better access to it. If it's leaking, it should be easy to detect once you get to the unit

Agree with Tex. When i first purchased my sc, I had the same issue and it turned out to be loose hoses. Easy fix.

How long does it hold fluid? (Basically, how big of a leak is it?)
