Boxster 987 washer fluid low warning light on ?

Still haven’t installed the sensor. Ran a test: I filled the reservoir to the top and used the windshield washers until the warning light came back on. Then refilled with a measured volume. The reservoir took 66 oz to refill; the warning light went back out.

My next test is to not use the washers for awhile, say a week or a month. Then check the level again and determine whether the reservoir leaks when driving.

Otherwise, now I’m going to tackle cleaning the top

The washers were not used for approx 1 month. Today, I filled the washer tank again to Full. It took about 28 oz.

I am assuming the tank got filled at the start of my experiment. 
There is no signs of water on my gsrxge floor.

I think I’ll siphon out the water into quart bottles and see when thy he alert comes on

Update: I tried to rig up a siphon to start the draining in order to detect when the warning comes on. Well, the washer reservoir will not allow a tube to be inserted.

             So, I'll resume using the washers and when the light comes on; I'll measure the amount needed to fill.

Question: What is the capacity of the washer reservoir ? ; My car is an '06 987
