Hmmm I suspect either the tank or the rubber hose has a leakage.Then I called a few workshop and was quoted from RM300 - RM400 to have the washer pump replaced excluding labour. The washer pump is working fine and the washer tank has no leakage neither does the rubber hose is faulty but the workshop insist on replacing the whole unit.So the only problem must be the rubber seal between the pump and the tank which looks worn. So I went internet shopping and found the spare part called 'washer pump grommet'. I manage to source it out locally and DIY today.<a href="http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4386/016qg.jpg" target="_blank">http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4386/016qg.jpg</a>1.
