Car people: approx how long should your windshield washer fluid last? Don't see any leaks but had to refill a whole can after about 2-3 weeks.

Depends on the size of your vehicle's fluid reservoir and how often you use it.
Filling it every 2-3 is a bit excessive. You either use your fluid heavily or you have a leak that is somewhere between the reservoir and the pump and/or the pump and the spray nozzles on your hood. Have someone look under the car while you have the pump activated and see if it's leaking more fluid than is coming out of the nozzles....

@SabreFan1 Yeah I don't notice a leak but could be in somewhere. Don't use it to often, the sensor came on but still used it again today, 2-3 doesn't seem right.. I filled it again today and documented it just to test and see how long it goes. I got warranty on my car so if I see it low again in a few weeks, will get it checked out.

If the leak is somewhere along the line itself rather than at the reservoir, it would only leak when the pump puts pressure in the line while you're using it while you're driving. Kinda like poking holes in top of your garden hose. The hose wouldn't leak until you turned on the spigot at the side of your house on.
