Washer fluid gushing out

Well here is my story. It started when I hit the washer lever and nothing came out. I thought that was strange because I seemed to remember this car having a low washer fluid light (which was not on). So I pressed on thinking my tank must be empty. About 3 minutes later the aforementioned light came on which by now I thought was very strange. When I pulled into my driveway 2 minutes later I noticed a massive leak coming out of the wheelwell. So my tank emptied itself in just a few minutes and must have had some fluid left in it when I first tried using the washer fluid. This leads me to believe there is a leak somewhere between the tank and the pump.
Has anyone experienced this before? I would love to hear your comments about this before I see my dealer. I'm afraid he may not want to fix it under warranty and say I hit a rock or something (which I didn't).

Thanks all

I'm not familiar with the exact layout on a 2006 Corolla, but imagine its similar to others. Sounds like probably a hose popped loose. If it were a rock, it prob would have gashed your fender liner too. Usually the water resivour is in the fender area covered by the liner. Most of the OEM setups I've seen, the pump is integrated with the resivour.
