325i 2001, windshield washer seems to be leaking by bmw_123

Hi, My cars windshield washer liquid seems to leak away overnight and i see windshield washer low light when i start my car. however there always stays some inside the tank which i am able to use.
 
My question is: could this be only due to cracked washer reservior or there could also be some bad sensor/pump causing it?
 
I used some after market windshield washer liquid that i bought from local auto shop.. i burnt my hands already by using some local coolant (non-bmw) which damaged my bmw's expansion tank (costed me $230).
 
Any input would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Sam.

Usually the reservoir cracks at the seam, but sometimes the pump seal can leak as well.

I am thinking of buying plastic tank fix solution, will I be able to use it to fix it. If so, what should be my approach.
 
Thanks,
Sam.

You know, I'd price a new one first. If it's like $30 bucks, do that. I've tried to patch these things and it never seems to last.
 
But if it's really pricey, you might try something like JB Weld, a two-part epoxy.

I assume you are talking about an E46 325i (MY2001-2005), but I guess your 325i could be a low mileage E36 too (MY1992-1995).
 
Oh well, Bavarian Autosport (www.bavauto.com) has reservoirs for both cars. E36 part# 61 66 8 370 834:

See which one you need and enter the part number in Bav Auto's search window (at the upper left part of the screen).
