Hey guys I have a 2001 vr6 (dunno if that is relevant) and I swear it eats windshield wiper fluid...It seems like no more than 2 weeks after I completely fill the resevoir, my indicator is back on saying I need to "top up" my fluid. I really dont use that much fluid, at least I don't think so, and I dont see any leaks going on. Has anyone had this trouble before??

I have not heard of this being a common issue with these cars. If I remember correctly, they hold 4L, which is about 1 gallon... When I fill my car with a gallon of that stuff it usually lasts me all season. I would suspect a leak. Try filling it up with water and park over a dry surface and check for leaks after 10 or 15 minutes. They are kind of a P.I.T.A. to get to on the mark IV.
