01 Expedition washer fluid

Well this is my 1st post here, cause I just bought my 1st ford at an auction.......anyway, I noticed a "puddle" of something under it yesterday, thought it was the condensation from the AC........The washer fluid light was on, since I got it, so I decided to fill it up today, light went out, drove it home, it sat for a while, got in it, the light was on again, when I backed out, there was a HUGE puddle under it, when I checked the fluid, it was right back down to the level it was when I got it, so my guess is that it is leaking SOMEWHERE.......is this a common problem? I mean where do I start looking?

Thanks

Its probably a hose that is leaking. I would start at the washer fluid tank and start tracing down the leak from there.

If the puddle is under the passenger side door near rtht front of the running board, it is the line that feeds the rear window wiper. You will need to pull the inner wheel well liner out to get to it. That line then runs into the passenger side compartment and under the door sill to the back.

My line was busted right at the point where it entered the passenger compartment from the inner wheel well. Ford wanted $199 to repair. I did it for a $.75 couplerfrom Auto-Zone.
