2013 C30 Orange Fluid on the ground - Rain X WW fluid?

Hi, when moving my cars in this -40 wind chill this morning I noticed that beneath my 2013 C30 was orange colored snow. The car hadn't been driving since Sunday (today is Tuesday). I filled up the windshield washer fluid reservoir with Orange Rain-X Windshield Washer fluid on the previous Saturday (3 days ago). So the car was sitting outside in -40F wind chills.

Could the cold have cracked a line or the washer reservoir? I did not receive a message saying that the fluid was low. Does the system have a blow off/bleeding hose that would empty if there was too much fluid in the system? Or purge itself somehow to get rid of any icing within the system?

Sadly, I won't be able to investigate this until next week when it is in the +20F. Until then, is this anything I need to worry about? Or just keep an eye on it? Anyone else have similar problems?

Dustin

If you overfill it can seep out where the filler neck enters the tank. No need to worry would be my suggestion.

Ok, that's good to know. I'll keep an eye on it if it seems like I'm refilling it too often.

Thanks.
