You need to take your front drivers side wheel and fender liner off to get to it.

So, is it under the headlight? Do I have to remove bumper or in the fender well?

Taking down the splash guard under engine bay (pain in butt) might reveal the plastic fluid tank, but it may not be the tank leaking, it could be the pump or clogged tube.

Well if the fluid washer tank is filled and nothing is spraying out onto the windshield, it's most likely clogged with film/dirt particles. You can use compressed air that stores sell for cleaning computers, Find a connectin point to the fluid tube and separate. I think ? there maybe a visible connection on the driver side coming up at the end of the right fender and up onto the hood.
